Summary

Randy Orton said he will meet the mystery person he has been speaking with when WWE SmackDown takes place Friday in St. Louis. The update came in a video posted Wednesday night, continuing a weeks-long angle around who has been advising him.

Orton has been moving with a more aggressive edge since winning the Elimination Chamber to secure an Undisputed WWE Title shot against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42. In that stretch, WWE has also leaned into the growing hostility between Orton and Rhodes, including the recent scene where SmackDown in Pittsburgh ended with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes brawling.

What Randy Orton’s mystery contact changes for Cody Rhodes

Randy Orton bringing a mystery adviser to SmackDown immediately gives Cody Rhodes one more problem to track before their WrestleMania 42 title match. If that person is revealed in St. Louis, the segment could reshape how WWE frames the final stretch of the feud on television.

It also keeps Orton’s character shift front and center while the title program escalates, and that gives WWE another hook beyond the in-ring confrontation itself heading into WrestleMania weekend.
