Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton Set for Rematch at WWE Sunday Night's Main Event

WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis announced a rematch between Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton, scheduled for September 6 at Sunday Night's Main Event in Atlanta, Georgia.

This announcement follows a chaotic brawl between the two wrestlers during a recent episode of SmackDown. Aldis expressed his commitment to making this match happen, emphasizing Rhodes' desire for revenge against Orton.

The rivalry between Rhodes and Orton began earlier this year when Orton turned heel before WrestleMania 42. The feud faced criticism, particularly after the involvement of sports media personality Pat McAfee, which upset many fans. Orton's hiatus followed a disappointing title match at WrestleMania, but he returned at SummerSlam, attacking Rhodes and reigniting their conflict.
