A WWE star recently pulled off a daring prank by hijacking Randy Orton’s SUV, creating a viral moment among fans. The incident occurred just after Orton entrusted his car keys to someone he thought was a valet, only to discover his vehicle had been taken and heavily damaged shortly thereafter.
The Prank Unfolds with a Surprise Twist
Over the past few weeks, Randy Orton has been attempting to prank fellow WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, sponsored by Fireball Whisky, but his efforts have repeatedly fallen short. Orton, known as The Viper, previously tried to surprise Rhodes with various antics, including pieing him in the face, administering laxative drinks, and even attempting to shave the Undisputed WWE Champion’s hair — none of which succeeded.
In the most recent prank, after leaving his keys with someone he assumed was a valet, Orton quickly learned the truth. That individual, actually Rhodes in disguise near the parking area, swapped Orton’s keys in exchange for a bottle of Fireball Whisky. Once Orton was inside a building, he received a call informing him that his SUV was stolen and damaged beyond repair.
Orton hurried back to the parking lot, only to find his SUV gone. Soon after, Rhodes revealed himself as the mastermind behind the prank. Despite the initial shock, Orton embraced the joke with amusement rather than anger. He admitted to enjoying the moment, especially as Rhodes acknowledged The Viper’s belief that it can be “more fun to be bad.”
The Ongoing Story Between Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton share a long history dating back to their time together in The Legacy faction. Their dynamic has captivated fans, with many eagerly watching for a potential rivalry to develop. Although some viewed their recent King of the Ring Tournament match as a conclusion, Rhodes believes their story is far from over.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Undisputed, Rhodes highlighted the depth of their shared past and the rich opportunities for future storytelling. He emphasized that their rivalry could evolve over several months, potentially culminating at a major event like WrestleMania.
“Randy and I have a lot of history. We could do a six-month program that leads to WrestleMania. There is a lot of meat on the bone. It was a different type of build here with the tournament, with a whole different set of stakes. I like the stakes of the tournament with the main event of SummerSlam on the line. I think we’ll get into our history down the road, too.” —Cody Rhodes, Undisputed WWE Champion
This suggests that while their latest clash had unique circumstances, a deeper storyline is expected to unfold. Furthermore, Rhodes has drawn comparisons between Orton and the legendary Undertaker, hinting at the profound respect and complexity underpinning their interactions.
What This Means for WWE Fans and Future Events
