WWE Elimination Chamber 2025: 7 Things That Must Happen

5. Randy Orton Returns

...he hears voices in his head, but KO will hear a ringing once the majestic sight of a returning Randy Orton sinks in then Mr. RKO smacks Orton around at Chamber. It's very important that WWE picks the perfect moment to cue up Randy's cherished entrance track and pop the masses in Canada like they've been studying tape on his Survivor Series 2023 return and want to top it.

Owens should be primed and ready to hit a spike piledriver off the announce table through a ladder (thus referencing the bump he took courtesy of Cody Rhodes at Royal Rumble) on Sami. That's when the music should blare over the speakers and send the place crazy. Tossing Zayn to the side and bracing himself for a fight, KO can stop trying to put someone else on the WWE injury list, and look like he's seen a ghost once a fired up Randy ignores his rabbit punches then dishes out the punishment.

In effect, Orton would've saved Sami from a career-ending piledriver, but that's when something sensational can happen.

Just as it looks like Randy is about to get the ultimate revenge on Kev by piledriving him off the table through that ladder himself, Zayn can step in and beg everyone to see reason. Sure, he's just been fighting with KO for a solid half hour, but...enough of this agony. It needs to stop. He'd be thinking of Kev's mother in that moment.

That'd leave the door ajar just long enough for Owens to scurry out of there. On TV, Randy can ask Sami what his game is, then tell him to get the hell out of the way so he can give Kevin the comeuppance he deserves at 'Mania. There's your promo material for the next month or so.
