2. Randy Orton Defeats Cody Rhodes to Become the Undisputed WWE Champion
Next on our list is Randy Orton, who is poised to become a 15-time World Champion by defeating Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Title. While fans were initially thrilled for this feud, that excitement sank faster than the Titanic once Pat McAfee became part of the equation.
Shockingly, McAfee’s involvement has left fans even more convinced that “The Viper” is destined to win, particularly following his comments on last week’s SmackDown. McAfee announced that if Rhodes leaves WrestleMania as the winner, he will walk away from WWE for good.
Within the last week, rumors have suggested that WWE may be planning a tag team match at Backlash featuring Cody Rhodes and Jelly Roll against Randy Orton and Pat McAfee. If those reports are accurate, McAfee may have pulled a Tom Holland by spoiling the outcome of one of the weekend’s biggest matches. It makes Rhodes dropping the title to Orton seem even more likely, setting the stage for a revenge match down the road.
