Former WWE Women’s World Champion Becky Lynch has been absent from WWE programming but shared on social media that she visited Arena Naucalpan in Mexico on March 14th, the day after an International Wrestling Revolution Group (IWRG) event took place there. She posted about the visit on her Instagram stories.
Randy Orton made his return to the ring on this week’s episode of WWE SmackDown, defeating Carmelo Hayes with an RKO. This marked Orton’s first match since October 25, 2024, when he and Cody Rhodes defeated Imperium.
After the match, Orton delivered another RKO to Hayes after he refused a handshake. Orton was about to punt Hayes, but Kevin Owens intervened, pulling Hayes out of the ring. The two fought on the outside before Owens fled.
Orton had been previously taken out by Owens with a piledriver on the November 8th episode of SmackDown and later returned at WWE Elimination Chamber to confront Owens.
