Randy Orton kicked off this week's episode of WWE SmackDown in Italy and got a great reaction from the fans in attendance. The crowd sang his theme as he made his way to the ring.
Kevin Owens interrupted before Randy Orton could say a word. Owens said that he was wrong for attacking Orton and hitting him with a Piledriver last year. He stated that both Cody Rhodes and Sami Zayn deserved everything he did to them, but The Viper did not.
The former Universal Champion claimed that he let his anger get the best of him because Orton took Rhodes' side and that he made a mistake. The veteran said that he could forgive the 14-time World Champion for siding with The American Nightmare if he could forgive him for the attack.
