As seen during the April 4th 2025 edition of WWE Smackdown, it was revealed that Randy Orton vs. Kevin Owens for WWE WrestleMania 41 has been canceled due to Owens needing neck surgery. As of the Thursday before WrestleMania weekend, a replacement match for Orton has not been officially confirmed.

In a video published by WWE, Orton addressed his in-ring status for WrestleMania 41…

“I’m going to find out on Smackdown Friday. At least I better find out or Nick Aldis is eating yet another RKO, which I will pay the fine happily. But honestly, I have no idea what’s going on. But I have my gear. I got my boots. I’ll be all warmed up in that ring, and I’m calling somebody out. I got to do something. I got to give the fans here in Vegas an RKO at WrestleMania. I got to. It’s number 20. What the hell, right? Wish me luck.”
