Cody Rhodes, the current Undisputed WWE Champion, has expressed interest in stepping into the ring with his longtime friend and fellow WWE superstar Randy Orton.
The two wrestling veterans have a rich history, having previously teamed up as part of the faction known as The Legacy, alongside Ted DiBiase Jr. Over the years, they have clashed numerous times, with their first encounter dating back to 2007, when Cody Rhodes made his WWE debut against the 14-time world champion Randy Orton.
Speaking at the recent Backlash post-event press conference, Cody Rhodes reflected on his history with Randy Orton, acknowledging that if they were to face off a decade ago, The Viper would likely have emerged victorious.
However, Rhodes is eager to see how their dynamic would play out in a potential rematch today.
“If this was a decade ago, Randy would’ve beaten me clean,”
Rhodes said.
“But I want to know what it’s like if we wrestle each other today.”
The prospect of a rematch between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton is tantalizing, particularly given their shared history and the high stakes involved. As fellow SmackDown superstars, their paths could cross at any moment, setting the stage for a thrilling encounter.
Moreover, Randy Orton’s reputation as The Apex Predator and his formidable in-ring skills make him a credible challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship currently held by Cody Rhodes.
It remains to be seen whether their respective paths will converge, but the idea of a Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes rematch has certainly piqued the interest of the WWE universe.
With both superstars boasting impressive resumes and a deep understanding of each other’s strengths and weaknesses, a potential showdown would undoubtedly be a clash for the ages.
As the WWE terrain continues to evolve, one thing is certain – the anticipation surrounding a possible rematch between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will only continue to build.
