WWE Champion Cody Rhodes stole Randy Orton’s car as a form of retaliation after Orton repeatedly attempted to prank him unsuccessfully. The incident took place recently and was captured in a video that highlights Rhodes finally getting even.
Orton’s Failed Pranks and Rhodes’ Clever Response
In the buildup to this moment, WWE had been sharing several clips showing Randy Orton trying to trick Cody Rhodes in various ways, but each attempt ended in failure. Although these clips serve as advertisements for Fireball Whiskey, fans found them highly entertaining. Rhodes had been on the receiving end of Orton’s pranks for some time before turning the tables.
The Prank: Stealing a Car in the Parking Lot
The video shows Randy Orton pulling up to a parking lot and handing over his car keys to a man he believed was a valet, who denied being one. After Orton walked away, Rhodes approached the same man and arranged to swap the car keys in exchange for a bottle of whiskey. The prank escalated as Rhodes secretly took possession of Orton’s car keys.
Orton’s Reaction Upon Learning His Car Was Taken
Later, at WWE Headquarters, Orton received a phone call informing him that his car had been stolen and damaged. He hurried back to the parking lot only to find the car missing. Moments after, Rhodes arrived in the stolen vehicle and delivered a memorable line to Orton:
“You know Randy, you were right – sometimes it’s more fun to be bad.”

This moment hinted at the possibility of Rhodes turning heel in the future, as he embraced the idea of being the “bad guy.”

Following the prank, Orton appeared pleased that he had convinced Rhodes about the enjoyment of being mischievous, despite Rhodes ultimately succeeding in his revenge. The rivalry between the two WWE stars was showcased in a playful manner, contributing to the ongoing storyline.
