A contract signing between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton for
the WWE Championship at WrestleMania turned into a bloody
encounter as Orton had enough of his babyface run and
viciously attacked his former partner to turn heel, again.
Orton mentioned to Rhodes that he does not have an idea how
much he needs the WWE title again and Rhodes told Orton that
he is aware that the best version of The Viper will show up
at WrestleMania and no matter what happens, he will always
love him.
After sharing a hug, Orton switched and smashed Cody’s head
on the table and hit a low blow for good measure to a big
pop from the crowd. He continued the attack by hitting him
with the steel steps and the WWE title, opening up Rhodes.
Both Smackdown GM Nick Aldis and Jelly Roll tried to knock
some sense into Orton but without any success. After Orton
left and Rhodes was being checked on, Orton returned and
smacked Rhodes with another chair shot.
Orton then entered the ring with the same chair, opened it
up in the middle of the ring and sat down on it, holding the
WWE title as Smackdown faded to black.
