Last night, Cody Rhodes suffered a massive betrayal by Kevin Owens, who attacked Rhodes after Bad Blood. Randy Orton has now reacted to the same while replying to one of the fans in his DMs.
The American Nightmare teamed up with Roman Reigns at the recently concluded premium live event to defeat Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa. While Kevin Owens seemed fine with the unlikely union between the two fierce rivals, he snapped after the Bad Blood as he attacked Rhodes in one of the off-camera moments. The fans captured the sequence and have been making the rounds on social media.
Randy Orton, who is close friends with both KO and Cody, was asked by one of the fans to get a hold of the situation and intervene. However, The Legend Killer reacted by sending laughing and clapping emoticons.

Could Randy Orton also turn on Cody Rhodes after Kevin Owens?
Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton have a rich history between them. While the duo have been on the same side for a while, many expect The Viper to strike at the most unexpected moment and start a feud with The American Nightmare.
Ex-WWE host Matt Camp also stated in the past that he can see Orton going after Cody Rhodes' Undisputed WWE Championship and even winning it to inch closer to Ric Flair's historic record.
"You still have that underlying story of 'Well, Randy's trying to get to 16.' A certain former rival of his [John Cena] is at 16 and is on a retirement tour next year. Could that come into play? And I'm not saying Randy's gonna beat Gunther because I don't think it will happen. I do think Randy could beat Cody, and I think Cody can win it back. I think that's in play because I, like many of you, would like to see a heel Randy Orton but I've talked about that plenty. We're not there yet," he said.
WWE is yet to recognize Kevin Owens' attack on Cody Rhodes post-Bad Blood. However, The American Nightmare's wife, Brandi Rhodes, reacted to the shocking betrayal on social media.
It will be interesting to see how Randy Orton reacts to the situation on SmackDown. The Legend Killer played peace between the two sides on the blue brand a few days back. However, speculations are, that he could too betray Cody Rhodes soon.
