Randy Orton Sends Message To Cody Rhodes After SmackDown Title Change

TLDR

Cody Rhodes defeated Drew McIntyre on the March 6, 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown to win back the Undisputed WWE Championship, with the victory coming after a chaotic sequence involving referee interference and outside involvement from Jacob Fatu. Randy Orton responded on social media by posting a video of himself watching the match finish and captioning it "See you next week in Phoenix, @CodyRhodes." Orton is set to challenge Rhodes at WrestleMania 42, with next week's SmackDown taking place in Phoenix where the two could potentially come face-to-face.
