Randy Orton had an amazing feud with Kevin Owens that was set for a showdown in WrestleMania, but the Canadian superstar was pulled off the card due to a potential neck surgery.

This threw a spanner in the works, and Orton was gutted to miss out on the show of shows, teasing a clash with SmackDown general manager Nick Aldis. In the go-home edition of SmackDown, Orton confirmed that there would be an open challenge for him at WrestleMania, which paves the way for several wrestlers to lock horns with the Viper at WrestleMania.

Stadium Rant predicts his potential WrestleMania opponents.

Solo Sikoa

Orton has some history with Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline, sharing the ring with the Samoan star in a tag battle at Backlash France years ago. Sikoa also showed his heel moves, trolling Orton for not having a match in WrestleMania.

With Sikoa having nothing to do in WrestleMania, he can lock horns with Orton in a match that would certainly be a losing effort.

Rusev

After a torrid time with AEW, Miro left the company and signed a new deal with WWE, returning after five years away. Rusev has been teased for a return at Raw after WrestleMania, but with WWE desperate for a high-profile opponent for Randy Orton, the Bulgarian Brute can make his much-anticipated comeback against the Viper.

Imagine the pop Rusev will generate when his theme music sounds at the Showcase of the Immortals.

Aleister Black

There have been a lot of vignettes teasing the potential return of Aleister Black to the blue brand, with the exact date of the SmackDown after WrestleMania displayed. Unveiling Black against Orton might not be the best move with the former House of Black superstar earmarked for a monster push.

Sami Zayn

The underdog has been written off TV, selling the brutality he faced from Kevin Owens at the Elimination Chamber, and he will be itching to return to WWE for a new storyline. Zayn has a connection with Owens, it will be interesting to see how things pan out with Orton.

End of Rant

Orton is a huge superstar, and he will be looking forward to WrestleMania after missing out on the last one due to injury. Setting up an open challenge is a smart way to get him into the show, while keeping the fans guessing.
