In a surprising turn of events on SmackDown, Nick Aldis caused a stir by interrupting a confrontation between Logan Paul and Randy Orton. The tension between the three escalated after Paul’s interference in Orton’s match at the WWE Elimination Chamber, leading to Orton losing his chance at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Orton retaliated by attempting to deliver his signature move, the RKO, on Paul during a recent episode. However, Paul managed to evade the attack, setting the stage for further conflict. On the latest SmackDown, Paul approached Aldis seeking an apology from Orton, only to face a refusal from the General Manager. Aldis, in turn, faced ridicule from Paul for allegedly failing to secure an opponent for Paul at WrestleMania.
During a match between Orton and Grayson Waller, Paul was present at ringside, where he witnessed Orton’s victory after executing his finishing moves on Waller. Subsequently, an altercation ensued involving Theory, Paul, and Orton, which was diffused by the timely arrival of Kevin Owens. Aldis seized the moment by announcing a triple threat match for WrestleMania 40, pitting Paul against Orton and Owens for the United States Championship.
The upcoming title defense at WrestleMania 40 poses a significant challenge for Logan Paul, as he must fend off two formidable opponents who harbor animosity towards him. With tensions running high and alliances shifting, the stage is set for an intense showdown at the grand event.
