Randy Orton Opens Up On Cody Rhodes & The Rock WrestleMania 40 Situation

WWE

Randy Orton has opened up on the situation involving The Rock, Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns ahead of WrestleMania 40.

The road to WrestleMania for Cody Rhodes this year has been a rather Rocky one, with Dwayne Johnson making his return to the company to tease a match with Roman Reigns.

However, the match is currently set, with Cody set to challenge Roman Reigns for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 40.

Speaking to the New York Post, Randy Orton discussed the fan support for Cody, saying that he wants to see Cody beat Roman at WrestleMania.

He said:

“Seeing those fans, the ‘Cody Crybabies’ as Rock calls them, seeing the fans be so vocal for a Cody Rhodes, Cody’s heart and him finishing the story — and that story’s important, and I think because it’s so important to Cody it’s important to those fans. And it’s pretty f–king cool to see that to a lot of these fans Cody’s story is more important than the biggest star in the world. That’s pretty cool. 

“I also understand the business side of it, too. And I don’t think there’s any bigger match than any match Rock would be involved in, just when you are talking business. But if I had to choose, I’d want to see Cody beat Roman Reigns and win that title at WrestleMania 40.”

Orton is set to be a part of the Elimination Chamber match in Perth this Saturday to determine Seth Rollins’ challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania.
