Cody Rhodes has once again captured the Undisputed WWE Championship, beating Drew McIntyre on Friday Night SmackDown last week. Now he is all set to headline WrestleMania 42 against the 2026 Men’s Elimination Chamber winner, Randy Orton.

The upcoming edition of Blue Brand, which will take place at the Mortgage Matchup Center on March 13, will see an official contract signing between Orton and Rhodes for their Mania title match-up.

That said, in this article, we will explore three things that can happen during The American Nightmare and The Scottish Warrior’s contract signing on the Friday Night Show:

#3. Randy Orton turns heel

The Apex Predator has been a babyface for a long time. His diehard fans still await his much-awaited heel turn, and his WrestleMania program against his protege Cody Rhodes could be the perfect time for him to turn and bring back his vicious 2009 heel character.

After the two ink the contract and make their title match official, The Viper could finally snap at The American Nightmare for trying to take his spot and remind him that he is his mentor and he could never come above him.

#2. Cody Rhodes attacked his WWE mentor

A large number of fans were upset that The American Nightmare captured the Undisputed champion again; the YouTube video of him winning the title received over 100k dislikes in only 72 hours, which backs the claim.

WWE could capitalize on the heat on Rhodes, and he could finally turn heel for the first time since his return to the World Wrestling Entertainment as The American Nightmare, by attacking Randy Orton after signing a contract and vowing that he is the best and no one could take his spot.

#1. Drew McIntyre attacks them both

The Scottish Warrior’s Road to WrestleMania 42 was ruined by Cody Rhodes winning the title. Infuriated, McIntyre could launch an attack on both Rhodes and Orton following their contract signing.

Which would intensify his tensions with General Manager Nick Aldis, laying seeds for his in-ring debut in WWE at the Showcase of the Immortals.
