43-year-old top WWE star is the guy that could dethrone Roman Reigns, not Cody Rhodes, according to Disco Inferno

Wrestling veteran Disco Inferno believes Randy Orton could be the one to dethrone Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns.

The Viper has been out of action for nearly a year due to a back injury. Meanwhile, Rhodes received a shot at Reigns' Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at WrestleMania 39 after winning the 2023 Men's Royal Rumble Match earlier this year. However, The American Nightmare lost the bout after interference from Solo Sikoa.

During a recent episode of the Keepin' It 100 podcast, a fan suggested that Rhodes could win the Money in the Bank briefcase and challenge Reigns for the title again. Commenting on the idea, Disco Inferno stated that he was not sure The American Nightmare would be the guy to beat The Tribal Chief.

"I'll be honest. I don't know if Cody (...) I mean, everybody's just assuming that Cody was going to beat Roman. He might not be the guy to beat Roman. I would like to see how hot Randy Orton is when he comes back. Because Randy Orton is a guy that could beat Roman and get a huge pop, I think." [0:44 - 0:57]
