Randy Orton did not hold his tongue at the end of WWE SmackDown on Friday night. At the very end of the Fox broadcast, the 14-world champion went off about Solo Sikoa after their match. Orton teamed with AJ Styles and LA Knight to take on Jimmy Uso and Solo, who are both members of the Roman-Reigns-led Bloodline faction. After the match, Orton and his partners threw Solo through the commentary table. That’s when Orton let his thoughts fly, just as Fox was fading to black to move into the next program.
Orton gestured down towards the defeated young WWE Superstar and declared, “Hey, screw the Bloodline! Screw his big ass!”

“The Viper” is set to challenge for Reigns’ WWE Championship at the 2024 Royal Rumble, which will be held on Jan. 27 at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. However, it won’t be a one-on-one match. Styles and Knight are also in the bout, making it a fatal four-way. Whoever scores a pinfall or submission — even if it’s not against Reigns — wins the title.
The next chapter of Orton and company’s rivalry with The Bloodline will play out on WWE SmackDown next Friday. The episode will be broadcast live from State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Tickets for the event are available via Ticketmaster.
