Randy Orton Teases Clash With Cody Rhodes At WWE Elimination Chamber
Randy Orton has been rumored to turn on Cody Rhodes for several months.
The American Nightmare and The Viper have a long history since Rhodes was part of Orton’s faction, The Legacy. Since Rhodes’ return to WWE in 2022, the relationship between the two superstars has been subject to speculation.
While Orton and Rhodes worked together on several occasions, The Viper also teased going after his former teammate multiple times when the latter held the Undisputed WWE Championship.
Last June, The American Nightmare and The Viper went head-to-head in the final of the King of the Ring tournament. The two may now clash again in the Elimination Chamber match as both qualified.
Randy Orton Teases Getting His Hands On Cody Rhodes
During a recent interview with ESPN, Randy Orton was asked which of his Elimination Chamber opponents he was most looking forward to getting his hands on.
The Viper disclosed his desire to mix it up with Je’Von Evans and Trick Williams. Meanwhile, he also teased battling his friend, Cody Rhodes.
You know, those are all great talent. I think that whenever I can get a chance to get my hadns on the younger talent, that’s always more fun for me. They’re the future and to get in there with them and mix it up with them. Je’Von Evans, I mean, he’s an amazing athlete. I’ve been in there with him before. Trick Williams, same goes for him. Both those guys are awesome.
But, Cody Rhodes and I have quite the history. So, it’s gonna be an interesting night. And it all leads to WrestleMania. Man, this, like I said, we’ve only got so much more gas left in the tank, and I plan on going to WrestleMania, main eventing WrestleMania, and becoming a 15-time world champion. [1:45 onwards]
