Going by the earlier updates, Randy Orton was always set for an appearance on WWE NXT’s episode in his home state of Missouri scheduled for October 8. This will mark the overall second episode before the show eventually moves on to the CW Network which will now have the legendary WWE Superstar in action.
As announced in the latest episode of WWE NXT, Randy Orton will compete against Je’von Evans in Missouri on the above-mentioned episode. Last night, Evans asked NXT General Manager Ava for a match on the show in Missouri. Later on the show, Evans and Cedric Alexander defeated Tavion Heights and Myles Borne in a tag team match after which it was noted that Randy Orton intended to be Evans’ opponent after posting a tweet on X.
