He sent a blunt warning to Randy Orton in unaired WWE SmackDown footage, where Rhodes was seen appearing for an interview with Michael Cole on SmackDown, marking his first major comment after losing to Orton at WWE Sunday Night's main event.The former Undisputed WWE Champion reflected on the mistakes that ultimately cost him the match and admitted that he hesitated when he had an opportunity to deliver a punt kick to Orton. However, Orton took advantage of his hesitation and hit Rhodes with an RKO to secure the victory.During the televised portion of the interview, Rhodes made it clear that he would not make the same mistake if he found himself in a similar situation again. However, the conversation didn't end there when the cameras stopped rolling. He bluntly warned Randy Orton on the interview with Michael Cole.This happened when Rhodes and Cole shook hands before they embraced in a hug. The veteran reporter thanked the former three-time Undisputed Champion, saying that he thought their one-on-one interview went well. Rather than extend the polite gesture, Rhodes, in a stage whisper, told Cole, "When it happens again, I'm going to kick his f**king head off."Later, Triple H captioned the footage, revealing Rhodes' comment. He posted the same on his X account, stating, “Sometimes you need to keep the camera rolling to get to the truth.”This shows the hostility between Rhodes and Orton that has escalated significantly in recent months. Rhodes previously had the opportunity to strike Orton with a punt, but he was a little hesitant after Orton pleaded with him to reconsider. But this was Orton's plan, and he took advantage of the situation and turned the tables on him.However, Rhodes' latest comment suggests that he doesn't intend to show the same hesitation if the two former allies cross paths again. It remains to be seen when Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton will meet again in the ring and whether he will apply the same to Randy Orton, whatever he said on the unaired footage with Michael Cole on SmackDown.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
