How The Internet is Ruining AEW
Randy Orton’s hopes of challenging John Cena for the Undisputed WWE Title again suffered a big blow at Night of Champions. However, one of his actions in Saudi Arabia earned him an interesting new moniker.
The opening match of Night of Champions saw Orton face Cody Rhodes in the final of the 2025 Men’s King of the Ring Tournament. The two stars pushed each other to the limit, with some unexpected twists.
In the closing moments, Orton tried to bring a steel chair into play, but the referee stopped him. The Viper then ripped off the padding from the top turnbuckle, which ultimately proved to be a huge mistake.
After a back-and-forth exchange, Cody Rhodes countered an RKO and sent Randy Orton crashing into the exposed steel. The American Nightmare quickly took advantage of the situation and connected with the Cross Rhodes for the three-count.
While Orton lost the bout, his in-ring craftiness during the turnbuckle spot was acknowledged by Michael Cole on commentary, who called the WWE legend “Cerebral Orton.”
