In this article, we will be looking at three reasons why the Apex Predator attacked the 40-year-old star on the blue brand show.
#3. He’s friends with Cody Rhodes
It’s crucial to note that Matt Cardona is a friend of Cody Rhodes. When he was entering the ring during the main event, the commentary team also mentioned it.
It seems that the reason why the Viper attacked Cardona on SmackDown could be connected to Cody Rhodes. The Apex Predator may want to send a message to the American Nightmare ahead of WrestleMania 42.
Hence, he targeted Matt and took him out as Rhodes was absent. This sends a bold message that Cody is not ready for this heel version of Orton.
#2. Matt Cardona stuck his nose in his business
Almost no one asked questions about Randy Orton’s actions against Cody Rhodes. However, Cardona was the one who stuck his nose in the business and decided to confront the Apex Predator.
So, to send a message to the entire locker room, Orton might have destroyed the veteran on Friday Night SmackDown. Following this, no one will even attempt to stick their nose in Randy’s business.
#1. Mini-feud while Cody Rhodes is out of WWE
Cody Rhodes was notably absent from SmackDown this week. The Viper mentioned this, too, in the main event segment. It seems that the Prodigal Son is selling the attack from Orton last week.
In the absence of the Undisputed WWE Champion, the company needs a mini-feud to keep things heated up on the road to WrestleMania 42. This could be another reason why Orton destroyed Matt Cardona on the blue brand.
This will ignite a mini-feud between them until the American Nightmare makes his WWE return and targets Orton.
Overall, the upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown will be interesting to witness. The new version of Randy Orton appears to be great and makes his feud against Cody Rhodes a must-watch thing on the blue brand.
Now, only time will tell whether the heel version of Randy will dethrone Cody at Mania or not.
