Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton share a very long history in WWE. They have been intertwined in WWE storylines for a long time, especially as part of the Legacy faction. However, they also have a deep friendship backstage. Thus, it comes as no surprise that the American Nightmare knows a lot of secrets about the Viper and recently revealed one of them.
Speaking on Jazzys World TV, Rhodes revealed an anecdote from a couple of years ago when the company was on a tour of South Africa. At the Nelson Mandela hotel, Randy Orton pulled a urinal off the wall by grabbing it and pulling the plaster off the wall. This ended up flooding the bottom level, and the superstars were banned from ever entering the hotel again.
Rhodes was surprised because such an action takes an immense amount of strength. Furthermore, the Apex Predator was committed to pulling out the piping and causing serious damage to the hotel. Seeing this incident, the WWE Undisputed Champion doubted if he was even cut out to become a professional wrestler. Meanwhile, Orton found the situation absolutely hilarious.

Orton is quite notorious for his backstage antics. He was a huge troublemaker during his early years in WWE, albeit his mischievous side has severely come down during the twilight of his career. However, a few months ago, the veteran got into a social media beef with Machine Gun Kelly.
Vince Russo says that Kevin Owens should have dethroned Cody Rhodes by now
The feud between Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens has become one of the most interesting feuds in WWE. Apart from competing for the WWE Undisputed Championship, their rivalry is incredibly personal. The Prizefighter feels he has been betrayed by his friend. Vince Russo is also clearly a fan of this story. He even believes that it should have progressed much further than it already has.
Speaking on Legion of Raw, Russo opined that the champion and Kevin Owens should have already faced off at Survivor Series, where the latter should have won. They could have then set up a rematch for Saturday Night’s Main Event, where the former champion could have won it back.
Of course, this is not the direction that WWE chose for this storyline. Rhodes and Owens will now face off at Saturday Night’s Main Event. While they did have a match at Bash in Berlin, this will be their first bout since the former NXT Champion turned heel on the American Nightmare.
