Randy Orton entered WrestleMania 41 without an opponent after Kevin Owens suffered a neck injury in the past few months. Owens' withdrawal opened the door for TNA Champion Joe Hendry to get a massive opportunity on the grandest stage despite Orton coming out victorious on WrestleMania, Night 2.

Orton promised his mystery opponent an RKO and went for it right away, only to get countered with a failed roll-up from Hendry. The TNA champ pulled out his usual bag of tricks and engaged the crowd with Orton looking confused, clearly having fun with the match.

Hendry regained momentum after Orton hit some clotheslines and his patented elevated DDT.
