Triple H to fire Randy Orton from WWE for his actions at Backlash Premium Live Event? Exploring why it’s possible

Under the creative leadership of Triple H, the WWE Universe witnessed the 2025 Backlash Premium Live Event. The show concluded with John Cena standing tall as the Undisputed WWE Champion. In addition, Randy Orton gave the fans a memorable moment by having an RKO fest during the match.

This happened when referees were getting knocked out repeatedly during the match. When the second referee during the match was attacked, Nick Aldis and other official figures made their presence in the ring. At that moment, The Legend Killer RKOed John Cena, and if there was a referee in the ring to count, he might be your new Undisputed WWE Champion.

Unfortunately, things went haywire and The Viper was frustrated, asking Nick to bring a referee into the ring to count the pinfall. After getting no solution from The National Treasure, The Legend Killer decided to do what he does best, i.e., deliver an RKO. This time, however, not only the SmackDown General Manager but all the officials who were standing in the ring at that time got a taste of Orton's wrath.

Though this moment might be a cool thing for the fans, Randy Orton might face serious repercussions for the same. In fact, there are some speculations that Triple H may even fire Orton from WWE. This angle between The Game and The Viper indeed will be part of a storyline only. The Chief Content Officer might confront Randy in the upcoming episode of SmackDown.

Triple H could mention how Randy isn't stopping himself from putting his hands on the authority figures and officials, as he has done this before, too. As a result, Triple H may decide to take strict action and fire The Apex Predator from the company.

While this could be done to write Randy off from television, it may not be very likely to unfold following Backlash 2025.

Further, he highlighted the chemistry between these two veterans as both knew each other so much, and that was why they were able to deliver magic in the ring at Backlash.

Triple H also talked about the history between Cena and Orton as their first match was around 25 years ago at OVW. After a grueling 25 years, they clashed again for 'One Last Time' at Backlash 2025.
