Randy Orton and Kevin Owens will meet in the ring next week on Raw.
During a backstage segment, Owens was approached by Ric Flair, who has been by Orton's side for several weeks. Flair tried to give Owens some advice about worrying about himself instead of looking out for other people. This comes after Owens tried to mediate a potential reunion between Liv Morgan and Ruby Riott, which ultimately ended in the two of them teaming up to face the IIconics.
Owens did not take too kindly to Flair's advice and wanted to prove to Flair that he has plenty of fight left in him and issued a challenge to Orton for the August 10 edition of Raw. The match was made official later in the night.
