Nick Aldis sends a five-word message after Randy Orton RKOs Adam Pearce at WWE Crown Jewel

Adam Pearce experienced the wrath of Randy Orton at WWE Crown Jewel as the Legend Killer took out the RAW General Manager with an RKO. Nick Aldis, his SmackDown counterpart was present in the ring when the incident occurred and has reacted to the same with a five-word message on social media.

Randy Orton was slated to face Kevin Owens at the recently concluded premium live event in Saudi Arabia. However, the two men engaged in a hellacious brawl before the bell could even ring for the start of the match. Many officials tried to separate the duo, including Aldis and Pearce. However, the RAW General Manager ended up taking an RKO from the Viper. The altercation ended after KO put Orton through a table.

Adam Pearce recently took to X (fka Twitter) to reflect on Orton's unhinged action. However, Nick Aldis jokingly responded to his counterpart's post by taking a shot at Pearce instead of addressing his SmackDown superstar's actions.

"How 'bout those socks though," wrote Aldis.

Randy Orton was unable to walk out on his own after the brawl at WWE Crown Jewel

While Randy Orton and Kevin Owens took each other to their limits at WWE Crown Jewel, The Prizefighter had the last laugh when he put the Legend Killer through a table to end the brawl. After the scuffle, Orton struggled to get back on his feet and was taken away in a vehicle. Owens, meanwhile, managed to walk back on his own.

The Viper could be sidelined for a while to sell the brawl that ensued at the premium live event, freeing Owens to go after Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The two men have unfinished business since KO betrayed The American Nightmare at Bad Blood. Rhodes is also done with his program with Gunther and is likely to move on to a fresh challenge.

Randy Orton and Kevin Owens are also likely to face backlash for their actions at WWE Crown Jewel. While KO put his hands on a referee, The Viper went a step further and took out the RAW General Manager which could land him in hot waters.

We will get a clearer picture of the situation in the upcoming edition of Friday Night SmackDown.
