Throughout 2024, WWE has strategically positioned Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton on different shows, laying the groundwork for what could potentially be a thrilling clash between the two wrestling icons.
Wrestling veteran Kevin Sullivan hints at an impending showdown, igniting excitement among fans.
As a current member of the RAW roster, Cody Rhodes eyes the opportunity to challenge SmackDown’s Undisputed WWE Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, following his second consecutive Royal Rumble victory.
Meanwhile, Randy Orton, who previously attempted to dethrone Reigns at the Royal Rumble, has shifted focus away from the top title picture. However, former WCW booker Kevin Sullivan believes that Orton and Rhodes’ paths could converge once again, leading to a riveting rivalry.
In a recent episode of Tuesday with the Taskmaster, Sullivan emphasized the potential for a compelling storyline, citing the shared history between Rhodes and Orton.
“It’s gonna happen,” Sullivan confidently asserts. “They could do a magnificent job of telling the story because remember came in and there was the Legacy? You can bring that in. They started together. Randy accomplished something that Cody hadn’t accomplished before him — he became [world] champion. There’s a lot of things they can go with, and I happen to think that Randy’s fabulous.” [H/T Wrestling Inc.]
The collaboration between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 further enriches their history, offering ample material for a captivating feud before Orton eventually retires.
While Rhodes sets his sights on Roman Reigns’ title, he also prepares for a high-stakes tag team match at WrestleMania alongside Seth Rollins against The Rock and The Tribal Chief.
Meanwhile, Orton finds himself embroiled in a heated rivalry with United States Champion Logan Paul, culminating in a Triple Threat Match at The Show of Shows, with Kevin Owens joining the fray.
With anticipation building for WrestleMania 40, fans eagerly await the possibility of both Rhodes and Orton emerging victorious with championship titles. However, the cunning tactics of the heels are sure to pose a formidable challenge to the valiant efforts of the babyfaces.
