Brandi Rhodes has responded to Randy Orton’s shocking heel turn on this week’s WWE SmackDown, where he viciously attacked her husband, Cody Rhodes. Orton recently won the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match and secured a title shot at WrestleMania 42 for the Undisputed WWE Championship, which Cody currently holds after dethroning Drew McIntyre.
The brutal attack on Cody left him bloodied and battered, prompting Brandi to take to social media to express her thoughts on Orton’s actions. In a tweet, she wrote, “Average people are predictable. My people aren’t average.”
Cody Rhodes, on the other hand, has opened up about a previous incident where he was left injured by The Rock, John Cena, and Travis Scott before WrestleMania 41. Cena turned heel at Elimination Chamber 2025 and aligned himself with The Final Boss after Rhodes refused to comply with his demands. Rhodes revealed that The Rock, Cena, and Scott were responsible for giving him a black eye and a perforated eardrum.
After losing the Undisputed WWE Championship to Cena at WrestleMania 41, Rhodes is now set to face Orton at WrestleMania 42. The two will headline Night 1 of the event, with Orton having the chance to win his 15th WWE World Championship by defeating Rhodes. The rivalry between Rhodes and Orton intensified after their recent clash in the finals of the 2025 King of the Ring Tournament, where Rhodes emerged victorious.
As the WrestleMania showdown between Rhodes and Orton approaches, fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this highly anticipated match. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting WWE rivalry.
