The 14-time Champion ended the interview by saying Rhodes’ famous line, “Pro Wrestling has more than one royal family.”

Was that a reference to the person on the phone? Orton could have been speaking with any of the next five people on RAW.

#5. Talking with his father

If the Rhodes line was a familial reference, Orton could have been speaking with his father. His father has been involved in storylines before and would support Randy no matter what he did.

The Orton Family isn’t as renowned as the Rhodes, Flairs, or Harts, but they are a part of WWE history. Randy could have been referencing advice from his dad.

#4. Ric Flair and the Evolution ties in WWE

Ric Flair may not be contractually bound to WWE, but Orton has a long history with the Hall of Famer. The two were members of Evolution, and Orton has been a foe and ally of The Nature Boy.

He also famously punted the senior citizen during the COVID pandemic. Flair always held Orton in high regard, so the phone call could have been a way to tease talking with The Nature Boy without name-dropping him on RAW.

#3. Aleister Black’s words got through to Randy Orton

Before Orton won the Elimination Chamber and turned heel, Aleister Black was trying to bring the Legend Killer out of Randy Orton. He claimed it was the edge Randy had been missing, and potentially what he needed to win a 15th title.

Once he won the Chamber, that feud was abandoned, and Black started working on Sami Zayn. The Viper claimed that the person on the other side of his phone call had a brain, and it was Black trying to get him to bring out the darker urges.

#2. John Cena set forth the path last year

John Cena turned on Cody Rhodes and won his 17th World Championship. He eventually went back to being a good guy, but still accomplished the feat as a heel.

Cena and Orton will be tied together in WWE history forever, so it could have been the former Undisputed Champion on the other end of Orton’s call.

He has experience for exactly what Orton did, so it would make sense for the Viper to follow Cena’s lead.

#1. The Rock lands another jab on Cody Rhodes

The Rock has opposed Cody Rhodes at nearly every turn over the last four years. He had a random face turn on the RAW debut on Netflix last year. It didn’t last long, however, as he immediately made things weird by asking for Cody’s soul.

It led to Cena aligning with The Final Boss, but Rocky never showed up after Elimination Chamber. Since Orton was talking to someone on the phone “with a brain,” he could have been referencing a higher-up in WWE.

The Anoa’i Family is also one of the greatest in wrestling history. It’s dominated WWE for the last decade with the Usos, Roman Reigns, Rocky, and Solo Sikoa.

There are many royal families in wrestling, but not as many who have recent bad blood with Rhodes, like the Rock and Reigns.
