Triple H to refuse Randy Orton's request and remove him from SmackDown? 3 things The Game can do if The Viper confronts him following this week's show
Randy Orton has now made it clear that he intends to confront Triple H soon to get his match against Kevin Owens approved for Crown Jewel 2024. This assertion came during the most recent episode of SmackDown when Orton approached Nick Aldis to request a match against The Prizefighter.
However, Aldis rejected the plea, explaining that higher-ups had not permitted the match. In response, The Viper declared that he knows exactly who to approach, hinting at an impending face-off with his former Evolution stablemate.
In this article, we will discuss three possible actions Triple H could take if Randy Orton confronts him following this week's SmackDown.
#3. Triple H approves Randy Orton's request
One potential scenario that could unfold if Orton confronts Triple H is that his plea might be approved by the WWE's Chief Content Officer. Both veterans share a long history and a strong bond.
Randy Orton might present compelling reasons to The King of Kings as to why a match against Kevin Owens is necessary for the Saudi Arabia show. The Viper's arguments could ultimately convince the CCO, leading Triple H to approve Randy’s match against Owens for Crown Jewel 2024.
#2. The Game might reject Orton's request by stating he has no authority to do the same
Nick Aldis used to manage affairs on Friday Night SmackDown and had the authority to make matches official, but the situation with Orton vs. Owens seems to be different. The reason the SmackDown General Manager isn't able to make this match official is that he appears to be restricted by higher authority.
As a result, there’s a chance that Triple H might also decline Randy Orton's request, stating that even he doesn't have the authority in this matter to make things official.
Many believe that The Rock could be one of the people protecting Kevin Owens, which could be part of long-term storytelling. The Final Boss is a member of the TKO Board and holds significant power to make decisions. With all these possibilities, there is a strong chance that even Triple H might reject Orton's plea.
#1. Move Randy Orton to RAW to end this feud
Fans could witness an unexpected turn if The Viper decides to confront Triple H, as The Game might move The Legend Killer to Monday Night RAW to end his feud with KO. The reason behind Triple H's decision would be that he knows Kevin Owens is receiving special protection from higher-ups.
So, as an old friend of The Apex Predator, he might not want his buddy to get into trouble on SmackDown. This is why the Chief Content Officer might take action and move Randy Orton to the red brand after their potential confrontation.
This would be an interesting direction to explore, as it makes fans even more curious about who is protecting The Prizefighter, to the point that even The Cerebral Assassin is cautious about the situation.
