After Randy Orton entered the ring, WWE SmackDown began with a mic drop. Although he did have a problem with Kevin Owens, that was not the person he shouted out.
Rather, Orton confronted Triple H, the boss man himself, and he had a lot to say, claiming that Triple H was shielding one of his favorites.
As he described how insane Owens is at the moment, Triple H took another swipe at Orton, claiming that wasn’t the truth and that he has actually been rejecting the matcha against Owens to keep Orton from getting hurt again.
Nevertheless, Trips made the bout between Orton and Owens official at Crown Jewel, thus Orton was eventually able to persuade Triple H and receive what he wanted.
