The Legend Killer is currently on the sidelines after being taken out by Kevin Owens. KO is also slated to face Cody Rhodes for the title at Saturday Night's Main Event.

With Rhodes' WrestleMania 41 path yet to take a concrete direction, Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk host SP3 suggested that KO could attack the American Nightmare after their match this weekend to keep the rivalry going till Royal Rumble. Randy Orton, 44, may then make his return to win the Royal Rumble or Elimination Chamber and face Rhodes at the Showcase of the Immortals next year.

Dutch Mantell agreed with SP3, noting that he can see it happen:
