Randy Orton has been unhinged since turning heel a couple of weeks ago.

Orton unveiled his new self during the March 13 taping of SmackDown, which featured a contract signing segment between him and the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes for their match at WrestleMania 42.

After signing the contract, The Viper launched a brutal attack on Rhodes, making him bleed in the process.

Ever since, he has remained unpredictable, picking up fights backstage, then proposing to apologize, only to launch an attack on a fresh victim. Rhodes’ close friend Matt Cardona fell victim to Orton’s shenanigans.

Meanwhile, viewers have also learnt that Randy Orton is not acting alone.

He has been repeatedly seen speaking to someone on the phone, whose identity has yet to be revealed. Fans have debated the identity of his advisor, with names such as “Cowboy” Bob Orton, The Rock, and Ted DiBiase Jr. often coming up.

WWE Official Reacts To Randy Orton’s Latest Announcement

On Wednesday, Randy Orton shared a video of himself on X, speaking with his advisor, who told him that they would meet him in St. Louis on Friday this week.

The blue brand’s taping emanates from St. Louis, which is also the city where Orton is billed from.

The video again sparked a discussion among fans, with many speculating that his advisor could be Kevin Owens. Owens has been on the shelf since April last year due to persistent neck issues.

The Prizefighter underwent surgery and has been rehabilitating ever since.

With WrestleMania approaching fast, now may be the best time to reveal Randy’s mystery person, as it could throw off Cody Rhodes before their high-stakes match.

Elsewhere, WWE official Jessika Carr reacted to Randy Orton’s video, responding with just one emoji, which aptly describes the feelings of the fanbase at the moment.
