For weeks, Randy Orton has been seen speaking with a mysterious individual on the phone, someone who appears to be guiding his actions.
Since winning the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber match to secure a shot at the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42, Orton has reverted to a more ruthless version of himself — leaving Cody Rhodes bloodied, taking out his aggression on Matt Cardona, and even delivering an RKO to Jelly Roll.
In a video posted to social media on Wednesday night, Orton once again held a conversation with the unknown figure, revealing that the two will meet in St. Louis on Friday’s episode of WWE SmackDown.
Orton is set to challenge Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.
