What happened with Randy Orton’s surprise attack on Cody Rhodes on SmackDown?
Welcome to the Bust Open Podcast. Along with Just Labar, I'm Jonathan Hood. And on today's show, we discuss Randy Orton turning on Cody Rhodes on SmackDown, heating things up for the WWE Championship. We talk about it right now on the Busted Open Podcast. This is the Busted Open Podcast. Yes, it happened. The contract signing between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes. You should have known, Justin, all of a sudden Nick Aldous is not there to preside over the contract signing. You know what? He goes, these guys are friends. They know how to handle it themselves. I'm gonna leave. That that never happens in WWE where all of a sudden as exit stage right for uh for Nick Aldous and then Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes get along, everything's fine, and all of a sudden, just like that, Randy goes back to twenty eleven Randy Orton.
Well t to be fair and and to defend the decision of having all this access stage right. He's standing in the middle there. He's standing, you know, in between and the center of where the table is. And at this point, just as he's getting ready to leave. Both men have entered. Randy is is is doing the whoa with the crowd as Cody does his entrance. They fist bump each other. They hug and dap. They sit down, they fist up again, they hug again. I mean they they they they they they congrat I mean there was there was so much there was so much positivity and oh we're buddies I can't wait until we get to go to WrestleMania. So I mean after a while Nick Aldous is feeling like the third wheel in this bromance that's going on.
So I don't quite blame him. This is all under control, I guess. I'll just leave. I don't blame him. It was okay. He just feel like a third wheel.
Who does that WWE? You still gotta do your job, man. Where's he going? He leaves. You're s you know why he he should have stayed? Because who's gonna take the contra and Kay Faye, who takes the contracts back to Triple H in Gorilla? Right. Right. And K Fabe, it's like, all right, this is signed. This is signed. Gentlemen, thank you. Then you walk it back to the COO of the company and just like, you see, these contracts are done. You can take them back to the office, or I'll take them back. Whatever, you know, I'll fax them uh to Stanford. Whatever it is. You know, then that didn't happen. Thing is, I'll leave. And then Randy Orton snaps. And man, how refreshing was. was it to see Randy Orton back to what he was before.
It's a it is a almost year and a half, maybe two year build of Randy Orton kind of staring at the championship. And not necessarily looking at it as if, hey, I'm gonna turn at any moment, but just saying, boy, I'd love to be able to be champion again. And now he's got an opportunity as the heat is on now for that matchup.
Uh this was great. Uh and ru the l last thing on all this though, it it does make me wonder. I don't know if you what you think. It does make me wonder, J Hud. It would be in the situation of hey, keep him out there. That's that should uh further amplify the heel turn. Not only does Randy then slam Cody's head into the desk table in the ring and starts to beat him up, but then as soon as Randy would do that, if Aldis is still in the ring, Aldous is gonna then try to stop him. And that's a place right there for all this to take an RKO or whatever. He's not in that position to do that and then later when all the referees and officials come out, all this included, and they're on the outside of the ring stopping Randy from attacking Cody on the outside of the ring.
Aldous approaches Randy, but Randy just gives him a push. Randy doesn't punch him, doesn't k like just gives him a push. So I don't I I it makes it makes me wonder. I i whether or not Aldous I don't know If he can take a bumper, if there's a medical Something that precludes him from doing I don't know. But that but I that did stand out a little bit uh to me. But um this was
you think he's got Lloyd's a London brother? Does he have one of those? Those Rick Rude
and uh code
heading deals. Yeah,
right, right. Um, this was great. Look, it it came not even to little things.
