As seen during the March 13th 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown, Randy Orton turned heel against Cody Rhodes ahead of their match at WrestleMania 42. On the March 16th 2026 edition of WWE RAW, Orton was seen on the phone with an unknown person.

While speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray addressed the segment…

“Who was on the phone with Randy? There’s no doubt that it can be Ric [Flair], and Ric could probably say things to Cody that are going to take the wind out of Cody’s sails. But I’ll be damned if Charlotte couldn’t do it too, and nobody’s going to see Charlotte coming. It would be very different, a new take. You want to talk about royal families? You’ll have an Orton in the ring, you’ll have a Flair in the ring, you’ll you’ll have a Rhodes in the ring. That’s cool in and of itself right there. I love the idea of you being Charlotte.”

Tommy Dreamer also gave his thoughts…

“This is a Tommy Dreamer conspiracy theory. I think The Rock’s talking to Randy Orton. I mean, it’s just when he said there’s another royal family, I’m like, All right. Is he talking to Cowboy Bob? And like, I understand it. Your grandfather was a great draw. Your father was a great draw. But then I’m also trying to think, who’s the other royal family? And that other royal family is The Rock. That’s the only one that I can think of.”

Dreamer also mentioned Shane McMahon as another person that could be talking to Orton.
