Randy Orton and The Fiend are expected to face off at TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs in a few weeks, after the two stars have teased some kind of confrontation in recent weeks. Given that there is a lot of history between the two, the rivalry could well spill into Royal Rumble and maybe even beyond.

Orton and Wyatt have their own history from back in 2017 when The Viper was a member of The Wyatt Family. After winning the Royal Rumble, he opted to challenge Wyatt for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

Orton also burned down the Wyatt Family compound before the two men collided at WrestleMania, where The Viper emerged victorious. Orton and Wyatt then faced each other in a House of Horrors match, which interestingly wasn't a rematch for the WWE Championship since both men were drafted to different brands following WrestleMania.

The Fiend has targetted many stars who wronged his alter-ego in the past and has now set his sights on Randy Orton. This feud will definitely not be settled with one match at TLC, so it's expected to boil over into Royal Rumble, where these two men could have another interesting cinematic match.
