4 Ups & 5 Downs From WWE SmackDown (20 Sept - Results & Review)

3. Erm…Randy Orton?

Also, where in the name of draping DDTs was Randy Orton?

He returned last week to help Owens take out Austin Theory and Grayson Waller, but 'The Viper' was conspicuous by his absence on Friday night. WWE barely even mentioned him (if they did at all), and that's a head scratcher. Surely Randy would've been on hand to help his good friend out from now on, no?

It'd be great to see some movement on R-KO as a full-time duo rather than the bitty on/off union they are. There's a longer term story to tell here involving Cody and Orton's Legacy history with him; that might be why the writers are taking their time, but there was nothing stopping them from turning the six man into an eight man by cramming in Randy and Solo Sikoa.

In fact, that would've made way more sense rather than Orton suddenly vanishing into thin air again. The reigning tag champs on SmackDown, Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa, don't have anything going on heading into Bad Blood either. Surely developing something with R-KO there would've made sense.
