Randy Orton’s heel turn against Cody Rhodes on the March 13 episode of SmackDown set the stage for another interesting storyline coming to WrestleMania 42. Three days later, on the March 16 edition of Raw, Orton was shown on the phone with an unknown person, and the identity of that caller has become one of the most discussed mysteries in WWE at this time.
But I am saying busted open radio, WWE Hall of Famers Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer both offered their theories as to who was on the other end of that call. Bully Ray suggested two names from the Flair family, with Charlotte being his preferred choice.
“Who was on the phone with Randy? There’s no doubt it could have been Rick, and Rick probably said things to Cody that would blow Cody’s mind,” he said. “‘But I would be devastated if Charlotte couldn’t do the same, and no one would be able to see Charlotte coming. It would be very different, a new look.
“You want to talk about royals? You’ll have an Orton in the ring, you’ll have a Flair in the ring, you’ll have a Rhodes in the ring. That’s cool in itself. I like the idea of you having Charlotte.”
The appeal of the Charlotte Flair scenario is obvious. His involvement would add a layer of surprise that Ric Flair’s appearance wouldn’t have at this point, given how often his name is linked to WWE storylines.
Charlotte’s alliance with Orton against Rhodes would also have its own history, given the Rhodes and Flair family’s long-running ties in the wrestling business. The optics of three generational surnames colliding at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas will carry real weight.
Could The Rock Be Randy Orton’s Secret Supporter?

Dreamer took a different direction altogether, pointing to The Rock as his candidate. “It’s a Tommy Dreamer conspiracy theory. I think The Rock is talking to Randy Orton. I mean, it happened when he said there’s another royal family, I’m fine. Is he talking to Cowboy Bob?
And like, I understand it. Your grandfather was a great charmer. Your father was a great charming man. But then I’m also trying to think, who is the other royal family? And that other royal is The Rock. It’s the only thing I can think of.”
