Cody Rhodes has earned a WWE title shot at SummerSlam after
he defeated Randy Orton in the final of the King of the Ring
tournament.
The two went head-to-head for 20 minutes in their first
match against each other since 2013, with Cody looking like
the emotion getting the best of him before things kicked
into gear.
Rhodes won the match after a Cross Rhodes and during the
coronation, Cody put over Orton as a mentor and asked the
crowd to give The Viper a standing ovation.
Cody defeated Andrade, Damian Priest, and Shinsuke Nakamura
in the first round and then beat Jey Uso in the semi final
to advance.
