WWE: Randy Orton bloodies Cody Rhodes, Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar set for WrestleMania 42
🎧 Listen to the full episode on Getting Over Wrestling Podcast
Randy Orton heel turn
I'm a killer and wrestling has more than one royal family.
Oba Femi vs. Brock Lesnar
Lesnar sold his ass off facially. Not the Keith Lee treatment, but actual intimidation. He backed up into the corner. When they faced off, Rollins approached him which was enough of a distraction for Oba to lift Brock like he was a child and a massive fall from grace.
Lesnar looked scared, shitless, and he audibly told Femi, put your foot on my chest. That is a hell of a generous move from Brock live in that moment. He made Oba look like a billion dollars.
Drew McIntyre career status
Don't forget, he was a baby face then, so it was different. McIntyre is going to be taking a break after WrestleMania. When he comes back, they're going to need to figure out a way to move his character into a similar but different direction where he's aggressive and steadfast, but not just a whiner all the time.
Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes
Cody used a blood capsule by the table, so Randy continued wearing him out with punches to the dome... Orton then leaned the bottom of the steel steps up against the table, put Rhodes head in the gap... It was basically the first ever concerto.
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns
It is clear that Punk is on the heel tweener side while Reigns is on the face tweener side, but the fans do not care. They are 90% cheering for Reigns and 80% cheering for Punk, and the intensity level between them is insane.
Drew McIntyre character direction
You know it. And I know it. This is bullshit.
Kofi Kingston tweet
Kofi Kingston wrote. 'Oh shit, Avenge Us,' which was hysterical. For those of you who do not know, Lesnar has defeated and taken the WWE title from every black champion in history. The Rock, Bobby Lashley, Kofi, and Big E.
SmackDown creative quality
I am of the belief that SmackDown borrowed Raw's creative writing team for the first couple of months of 2026, because Friday nights, for me at least, are back to being total dog shit.
