WWE Superstar Randy Orton no longer has a match at WrestleMania 41 and faces the danger of missing the show altogether. Wrestling fans are currently speculating about different directions for The Apex Predator at The Showcase of the Immortals. However, his 'Mania opponent might have already been revealed.
Amid the uncertainty around Randy Orton's WrestleMania 41 plans, an X/Twitter post shared by the veteran in 2019 has surfaced, leading to several fans speculating he might face the star he had teased a match with over five years ago. In the social media post dating back to June 9, 2019, the 45-year-old noted he should be the one to answer Aleister Black's challenge.
Although the two wrestled at multiple house shows, they never competed in a televised singles bout. Amid rumors suggesting that the former NXT Champion could be headed back to the Stamford-based company, the much-anticipated match could take place at WrestleMania 41.
