Cody Rhodes: Randy Orton And I Could Do A Six-Month Program That Leads To WrestleMania

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton clashed in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament at WWE Night of Champions, with Rhodes walking away with the victory.

Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Rhodes discussed having more meat on the bone with a potential Orton program.

“Randy and I have a lot of history. We could do a six-month program that leads to WrestleMania. There is a lot of meat on the bone. It was a different type of build here with the tournament, with a whole different set of stakes. I like the stakes of the tournament with the main event of SummerSlam on the line. I think we’ll get into our history down the road, too,” he said.

Orton and Rhodes were together as part of Legacy in 2008.

In defeating Orton to become King of the Ring, Rhodes earned a shot at John Cena and the Undisputed WWE Championship at WWE SummerSlam.

“This is uncharted and undiscovered in terms of what I envisioned for myself and WWE,” said Rhodes. “For my time here, this is the cherry on top. It’s a really special time.”

While Cody Rhodes challenges for the Undisputed WWE Title, Orton will be teaming with Jelly Roll to take on Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul at SummerSlam.
