WWE Champion Cody Rhodes is set to face off with World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins for the Crown Jewel championship next weekend. Rollins’ oracle Paul Heyman showed up on the blue brand last week to have a chat with Rhodes, but it turned out to be a trap when The Vision’s Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed suddenly entered the ring. Cody admitted it was “probably not a good decision on my part” as he took the first blow at The Brons even though he was outnumbered. It was indeed not the smartest decision for Rhodes to make, but that’s what fighting champion babyfaces just have to do sometimes when confronted by assholes. Thankfully for Cody, Randy Orton showed up just in time to save his ass and send The Brons packing. Fast forward to tonight, and the main event is Orton and Rhodes teaming up to take on Breakker and Reed in a tag team match.

Orton may have bailed Rhodes out of trouble last week, but this is yet another example of Rhodes trusting The Viper, and that decision has to bite him in the ass at some point. Perhaps The Viper won’t strike Cody down tonight. The allure of the WWE championship will be too much for Orton to resist at some point, and that’s when Cody will eat an RKO. United States Champion Sami Zayn is having another open challenge for the gold tonight, which marks his fifth title defense in as many weeks.
