Randy Orton with early dominance over Cody Rhodes
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton are rivals who have been associated for almost two decades now, ever since their time together in The Legacy and then later on their joint effort against The Bloodline.
Orton had been a mentor to the younger Cody Rhodes when the latter entered The Legacy in 2008, along with Orton and Ted DiBiase Jr.
But things didn’t last long, as the duo separated from each other before leaving the promotion in 2016 for Rhodes. But after coming back in 2022, both joined hands once again, only for their rivalry to take a turn in 2026 when Orton went for the attack on his protégé.
Both have had their share of wins in PLE matches and have caught up with their mentors. Let’s examine their WWE head-to-head stats.
