“The Viper” is back, with Randy Orton is clearly now listening to the voices in his head and taking out his pent up aggression on WWE WrestleMania 42 opponent Cody Rhodes.

With his dastardly persona resurrected on the March 13 edition of WWE SmackDown, it could be that Randy Orton is gearing up for a monster heel run if he topples Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42.

Here are six potential Undisputed WWE Championship plans for Randy Orton following WrestleMania 42.

6. Attacked By Drew McIntyre

Since there is an unhinged Drew McIntyre on the loose, it could be an interesting heel versus heel feud to see Drew McIntyre take on a newly crowned Undisputed WWE Champion, Randy Orton.

Able to reach new heights of dastardly actions against one another, it could be a fiery new feud between the two can begin as each shifts in character.

With Orton able to occupy a more dastardly and dark version which gives more room for McIntyre’s tough talking anti-hero to continue to bloom — the pair could both end up better off after feuding with one another.

Giving the perfect Backlash match for Orton, there could still be interferences and shenanigans in the finish that keep their feud alive into the future.
