What’s next?

Randy Orton has made it clear what his thoughts are above toward the WWE and the lack of Orton being left off the card. Keep in mind, Orton dropped The Miz with an RKO this past Tuesday on SmackDown Live.

Therefore, it is not outside the realm of possibilities that Orton can slither his way into the Survivor Series tag match if he were to take out one of the SmackDown Live representatives, then replace them. Subsequently, now former WWE Champion AJ Styles is now off the card after losing his championship to Daniel Bryan.

Therefore, You have two top SmackDown Live Superstars that are missing from the equation that should be on the show in some capacity.
