Orton Strikes: WWE SmackDown 3/13/26 Review | RASD
Dallas Edwards injury
The big story of the day in professional wrestling is the story of Dallas Edwards, the referee who suffered a brain injury at an OVW event... a very graphic and uncomfortable scene of a referee taking a breath bump and proceeding to suffer a seizure with no medical attention whatsoever.
Randy Orton heel turn
Randy Orton proceeds to attack Cody with the steel steps, busting him open. Orton shoves Aldis... it's a heel turn. I think it's Randy giving into the voices in his head.
Randy Orton/Cody Rhodes segment
I don't necessarily sense that it was [a heel turn]. I just sense this was Randy being his best at the request of Cody Rhodes and it feels more like this is Randy obliging by doing what his opponent has asked of him.
Drew McIntyre/Jacob Fatu feud
What I did last week was I fixed the situation. Because you were never supposed to be the champion to begin with. You were only champion because of me.
Cody Rhodes/Sami Zayn tension
I said what I said to Randy because I look up to Randy and I don't look up to you [Cody Rhodes].
Jade Cargill vs. Michin booking
I felt that the world champion [Jade Cargill] should not be taken to the limit by someone [Michin] who commentary keep telling us has been on the shelf for three months and this is their first match back.
Bella Twins return
They [The Bella Twins] say that they are here to scout because they are next in line for the tag team championships. Now, on what grounds they don't say whatsoever.
Jacob Fatu's performance
I think that he [Jacob Fatu] has transitioned into such a tremendous promo. He fitted into the company immediately with the charisma, with the look, with the wrestling... he's knocking it out of the park.
Wyatt Sicks/MFT storyline
I am so bored of it [the Wyatt/MFT lantern storyline]. It's so endless. We get Tessitore talking about the spiritual beacon and how much it means and all the rest of all this mumbo jumbo bullshit.
