Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton
After the wild ending to last night's SmackDown, General Manager Nick Aldis made an official match between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton for Sunday Night's Main Event in The American Nightmare's hometown.
The history between Rhodes and Orton spans 20 years. Perhaps the most explosive chapter yet, however, began when The Viper made a shocking return at SummerSlam and hit QB1 with the RKO that helped prevent him from overcoming Undisputed WWE Championship CM Punk.
When Rhodes returned to SmackDown, demanding answers from WWE's Apex Predator, Orton shot back that he didn't owe Rhodes a damn thing. Instead, he said he would make it his mission to ensure The American Nightmare never capture World Title No. 15. In response, Rhodes made it clear that he will kill the Legend Killer by any means necessary.
On the Aug. 14 edition of SmackDown, Orton executed a pre-match attack on Rhodes moments before The American Nightmare was set to face Sami Zayn. A chaotic brawl ensued through Boston's TD Garden, with both Superstars becoming completely unglued as they attempted to destroy each other.
