Orton then took a dig at John Cena and said that, unlike The Cenation Leader, he would never betray him. His comments were a reference to Cena attacking Rhodes at Elimination Chamber on The Rock’s orders. Orton also hinted that he too wants to get back into the title picture once WrestleMania 41 is over.
Drew McIntyre joins the duo
They were interrupted by Drew McIntyre, who taunted them for being ‘nepo babies’. He then threatened to injure Orton and demanded a shot at Rhodes’ title. Orton and ‘QB 1’ eventually shut him up by assaulting him. The veteran even tried to hit an RKO on McIntyre but failed to do so as the former ‘Chosen One’ escaped. It remains to be seen if this segment has an impacton what transpires at WrestleMania 41.
