WWE legend “The Viper,” Randy Orton, has been receiving advice from a mysterious individual over the phone since he turned heel against Undisputed WWE Champion “The American Nightmare,” Cody Rhodes, on the March 14th episode of SmackDown. Since that moment, Orton has embraced his venomous nature, declaring that this is who he needs to be in order to defeat Rhodes.
Recently, Orton posted a new video on his Twitter (X) account, showing himself on the phone with this mystery person. In the video, Orton expresses his gratitude for everything this individual has done for him and believes that they are prepared for what lies ahead. He ends the video by announcing that he will see this person on Friday in St. Louis during SmackDown.
This is what Randy Orton said, “The same, man. I appreciate everything you’ve been doing for me… Yeah, I think we’re ready to go. This Friday, right?… I’ll see you in St. Louis.”
Orton hangs up the phone and, at the end of the video, glances at the trophy case in front of him. Inside the case is an old photo of his father, “Cowboy” Bob Orton, alongside his grandfather, Bob Orton Sr.
There is no information yet regarding the identity of the mystery person. WWE SmackDown will take place in St. Louis, which is Orton’s hometown, at the Enterprise Center. The show will air live on the USA Network in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
