A loaded edition of WWE Smackdown went down this week that came with multiple new announcements for the Crown Jewel 2024 premium live event. Randy Orton opened the show from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York continuing last week’s pledge of getting a match against Kevin Owens at the upcoming WWE PLE to seek vengeance on him.
The Viper proceeded to call out WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul “Triple H” Levesque to the ring and he did appear for a confrontation on WWE Smackdown. Orton complained that Triple H was protecting Owens after his pledge of the match at Crown Jewel 2024 was denied.
Triple H clarified that he was actually trying to protect Orton from Owens as he’s become dangerous with greed for money and success in recent times. As such, Triple did agree to let Orton have the match against the Prizefighter at Crown Jewel 2024 but it came alongside a stern warning that Orton should watch his back all the time.
