WWE can have dropped a serious clue in regards to the identity of the mystery caller guiding Randy Orton — and it could tie back to one in every of wrestling’s strongest families. While nothing has been confirmed, this week’s episode of WWE RAW added much more intrigue to the unfolding storyline.
The angle began on the March 16 episode of RAW, shortly after Orton turned heel on Cody Rhodes. In a backstage segment, “The Viper” was seen on the phone with an unknown figure, thanking them for his or her guidance and saying that it was time to act. Later, he told Michael Cole that the conversation reminded him of who he truly is.
Essentially the most telling line got here when Orton declared, “Wrestling has multiple royal family.” The comment felt like a direct jab at Rhodes and hinted that somebody with deep roots within the business might be pulling the strings.
Since then, speculation has been running wild. Fans have thrown out names like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Ric Flair, Aleister Black, and even Bob Orton Jr. But this week’s segment introduced a brand new and compelling possibility.
During Monday’s edition of WWE RAW, Stephanie McMahon interrupted Rhodes and shifted the tone of the show. Their exchange quickly turned personal, with McMahon emphasizing her family’s legacy in WWE. She referenced Madison Square Garden as “the home my grandfather built.”
McMahon also referred to Orton as “diabolical” and suggesting that this version of Rhodes isn’t equipped to defeat him. The stress escalated further when she slapped Rhodes after their conversation turned toward their fathers.
With McMahon suddenly inserting herself into the situation and focusing so heavily on legacy, it raises the chance that somebody from the McMahon family might be the voice behind Orton’s mysterious guidance. It stays to be seen if it’s Stephanie herself or one other unseen figure.
After all, WWE is intentionally keeping things vague. But based on the clues up to now, the concept of a McMahon connection is becoming harder to disregard.
