Randy Orton has no problem with Cody Rhodes... for now
Randy Orton kicked off the September 27th episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown and said that the idea of Cody Rhodes teaming with Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood doesn't sit right with him. At Randy's request, Rhodes came out to give him an explanation.
Cody Rhodes said that "Legend Killer" Randy Orton should understand that Solo Sikoa's rogue Bloodline is a legend that has gone too far, and now it's time for the legend to be killed. Cody said he hoped Randy didn't have a problem with that, and Randy said it wouldn't be a problem at all unless Cody made it one.
Kevin Owens came down to enter the conversation, and they were interrupted by Solo Sikoa, Jacob Fatu, Tonga Loa, and Tama Tonga. Solo tried to say that he failed every time Cody tried to end the bloodline by teaming with Randy Orton or Owens. Therefore, he's teaming with Roman Reigns to try and succeed in ending The Bloodline.
Kevin Owens challenged the group to a tag team match. Cody Rhodes tried to make it a six-man, but Kevin quickly said that because Cody is teaming with Roman Reigns at WWE Bad Blood, he wanted the chance to team with Randy against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu tonight.
