Early 2026 has been a test of Orton’s legendary endurance. After competing in a high-stakes residency at the top of the card—including tactical battles at Saturday Night’s Main Event and an iron-man showing in the 2026 Royal Rumble—Orton found his stride in February. On the February 6th episode of SmackDown, Orton secured a vital Triple Threat victory over Aleister Black and Solo Sikoa, proving that his strike-out-of-nowhere remains the most dangerous equalizer in WWE.
