It was indeed a scenario in which Orton very well could decide to wonder where Rhodes was in that moment. Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer came to SmackDown to do a contract signing for her match against Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton at Crown Jewel.

He found himself in a tag team match alongside Rey Fenix against Los Garza, and it was an absolute thrill ride from start to finish.
