Source: Busted Open Radio — Randy Orton's Babyface Reaction After Heel Turn
Duration: 32 min
WrestleMania 41 main event plans
I'm assuming it's Cody and Randy night one and Roman and Punk night two, which I really do like both titles being in that main event.
WrestleMania 41 interest/booking
With the situation that the WWE was in where it seems like maybe there's a little bit of a lack of interest in WrestleMania this year, maybe some light ticket sales, just overall interest maybe waning, is it smart to go into a match babyface/babyface, mentor and pupil, with no real heat involved?
Cody Rhodes character direction
Cody knows that Randy Orton is a snake. And he's telling him, it's okay, Randy. You be the snake that you are. We'll still be friends, and I still love you. He basically told the people, it's okay that Randy did what he did to me.
Randy Orton heel turn execution
You're making Randy a bigger babyface, and that's what I worry about for the comeback of Cody. If you're going to be the heel, if he took his time again, his presence, if he goes and sits down, grabs that microphone and just says 'people want an explanation of the why? You ain't worth it,' drops the microphone and leaves, now you're the asshole.
Randy Orton/Cody Rhodes storyline
If you're just going to go this route, because he also gave Cody the excuse to just beat him up, and it was just like Cody said, if you remember, I'll always love you. And the fans are into it.
Cody Rhodes character perception
Cody is always on shaky ground no matter what and it's almost too white-meat babyface sometimes, almost too Backlund-esque at times. In today's day and age, you come with that and people are quick to go, 'ah, we don't want any more of that.'
Cody Rhodes/Randy Orton feud development
What if Cody does... what if Cody goes out there and he said, 'I'm standing by my word. I understand why you did what you did. Your quest for 15, you're the legend killer,' and that enrages Randy? Randy sees that he can't get under Cody's skin and takes it out on Brandi.
Randy Orton legacy
I've gone on record for a long time now on this show and said I want Randy Orton to beat John Cena's record. There's something about Randy Orton I can't even really put my finger on it. I think it's just Randy being the most credible of pro wrestlers.
Randy Orton/Matt Cardona segment
Matt Cardona's been back for a cup of coffee and a biscuit. You were banished into indie hell for the majority of your career. I'm Randy Orton. I'm a lifer. I'm a legacy. I'm an Orton. Who the hell are you to get in my face?
