Finally, Randy Orton appeared on Friday Night SmackDown after his shocking return at the Elimination Chamber. During his promo, Randy talked about John Cena’s surprising heel turn and betrayal against Cody Rhodes, who is one of his friends in the company.
Randy Orton’s return to Elimination Chamber was one of the biggest moments of the event. But John Cena’s surprise heel turn later made it less significant. Orton didn’t seem bothered by the attention shifting away from him.
One thing he made clear was that by teaming up with The Rock, Cena is no longer the top star of WWE. Orton said, “For as long as I can remember, ever since I started in this business, John Cena has always been on the top of this profession.

Cena’s heel turn is one of the most shocking moments in recent WWE history. The crowd reacted with a mix of boos and shock, showing just how big this moment was. It literally changed the current landscape of the company.

This promo on the blue show felt like Randy was sending a strong message to his next rival, Kevin Owens. Owens must have been careful at the “Showcase of the Immortals,” as they were reportedly going to WrestleMania 41.
