For several weeks, Randy Orton was shown talking to someone over the phone in backstage segments. Many expected that WWE might have planned a big surprise for Orton’s mystery caller.
On this week’s WWE SmackDown, Cody Rhodes and The Viper got into a brawl. Surprisingly, Pat McAfee came to the ring to hit Rhodes with a low blow. He then joined The Apex Predator in obliterating The American Nightmare.
McAfee also revealed that he was the person behind the mystery calls to Randy Orton. This revelation fell flat as the audience had no reaction on live TV. However, it received major backlash from fans on social media, which led Cody Rhodes to post on X/Twitter that he would address the situation on the show itself.
Later in the show, The American Nightmare came out to seemingly cut an unscripted promo, taking shots at Pat McAfee and also at TKO indirectly. Rhodes highlighted the rich history he has with Orton, which was the basis of this storyline. Cody said he knew who was bringing McAfee into this storyline, before mentioning they could kiss his a**.
Cody Rhodes was reportedly told by WWE to cut an unscripted promo
According to a recent report by BodySlam, Cody Rhodes was told by the Triple H-led creative team to cut an unscripted promo after his segment with Randy Orton and Pat McAfee.
It was also mentioned that The American Nightmare and other backstage names in WWE are unhappy and frustrated with TKO for interfering multiple times in WrestleMania storylines extremely close to the show.
WrestleMania 42 is set for April 18 and 19. Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton is one of the biggest matches advertised for the show. It will be interesting to see what the TKO-led promotion has planned for this storyline after the fan backlash.
