The road to WrestleMania has been full of twists and turns and back in February, Randy Orton punched his ticket to the main event when he won the men’s Elimination Chamber match. On the following episode of SmackDown, The Viper turned on Cody Rhodes when he delivered a brutal beating to The American Nightmare.
In recent weeks Randy Orton has been receiving advice from a mystery person, and he claimed that this person reminded him who he is. There’s been a lot of speculation regarding the person’s identity, which will seemingly be revealed on SmackDown.
Randy Orton recently posted a video of himself talking to the mystery person on the phone and he confirmed that the mystery person will be at SmackDown this week when he said, “This Friday, right? I’ll see you St. Louis.”

Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, Randy Orton continued to slip further into his heel persona as he also turned on his friend Jelly Roll when he hit Jelly with the RKO. Orton has proved in the past that he’s willing to do whatever it takes to get his hands on championship gold, so it will be interesting to see how the story progresses on SmackDown.
Stay tuned for updates.
