The annual Survivor Series premium live event took place from the Allstate Arena on Saturday night and the men’s WarGame match main evented the show. The match featured the return of Randy Orton who wrestled his first match in 18 months.
Randy Orton teamed up with Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn and Jey Uso and they managed to pick up a big win over Drew McIntyre & The Judgment Day. Cody Rhodes discussed Randy Orton’s return during the post-show press conference and he also revealed what The Viper said to him once the match was over.
“At the end of the match, Randy said to me, ‘Thanks for the phone call.’ And I wanted to tell him ‘Thanks for my career.’ I keep thinking this is going to end and I couldn’t have gotten to where I got had I not been around Randy. Randy is so wild and chaotic and you hear all these funny stories about him and all this nonsense, but as a performer, a professional wrestler, WWE superstar. What an outstanding mentor he was to me truly.
I’ll never forget standing in the ring at the Royal Rumble when he won, pointing at the star WrestleMania sign and just thinking, ‘I want to be like him.’ That’s [as] nice as I’m gonna get about [him]. I was really touched.”
