Rhodes: Orton's WWE path is now fake!
18 Apr
Summary
- Rhodes claims Orton's current persona is fake for title pursuit.
- Orton earned title shot by winning Elimination Chamber match.
- McAfee's involvement in Orton's storyline is questioned.

Cody Rhodes has asserted that Randy Orton's current WWE character is inauthentic as he heads towards WrestleMania 42. Rhodes stated that The Apex Predator's pursuit of a 15th major title, with Pat McAfee's assistance, portrays a "fake" version of Orton that fans may not desire.
Orton secured his championship match against Rhodes by winning the Men's Elimination Chamber contest. Pat McAfee was revealed as a mysterious associate of Orton's on SmackDown and had previously interfered by taking Rhodes' title. However, Rhodes managed to reclaim his championship from McAfee.
Rhodes also reflected on the inclusion of 'outside forces' in his recent WrestleMania storylines. He noted that while celebrities like Travis Scott and The Rock have played roles in his past major matches, it's a part of being in a prominent position within WWE.
It remains to be seen whether Pat McAfee will actively participate in the championship bout between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42.
