On SmackDown, Nick Aldis confirmed that Kevin Owens would miss this year's WrestleMania as the 40-year-old superstar addressed the WWE Universe. Orton made his way to the ring, and had a brief staredown with his arch-rival, only to be informed by the SmackDown General Manager that he was now without a match for The Showcase of the Immortals.
Orton clearly didn't appreciate the news from Aldis. He ended up hitting the SmackDown General Manager with an RKO. It remains to be seen if WWE has any backup plans for The Viper and finds him a new opponent for WrestleMania 41.
