What Happened After WWE SNME

Orton won after a finish marked by ref bumps and a low blow, while Rhodes drew a huge ovation and greeted his mother and Brandi Rhodes.

  • On Sunday at WWE Sunday Night's Main Event, Randy Orton defeated Cody Rhodes in an above-average encounter reminiscent of their WrestleMania 42 match.
  • Critics argued WWE made the booking more complicated than necessary, relying on ref bumps and a low blow instead of delivering a clean, satisfying finish.
  • Rhodes exhibited 'heel tendencies' by systematically picking apart The Viper during the match; Orton ultimately tricked him into lowering his guard to secure victory.
  • After the show went off air, Orton left ringside while keeping his eyes locked on Rhodes, who remained to acknowledge the crowd and greet Brandi Rhodes.
  • Wrestling writer Graham Mirmina, known as GSM, argued WWE's booking makes Rhodes look foolish by tired tropes, with further analysis available on his WrestleRant YouTube channel.
