Cody Rhodes will lock horns with Damian Priest in a singles encounter at WWE Crown Jewel 2023. However, things may not end well for The American Nightmare as he could succumb to a loss due to a WWE legend's interference.
The superstar in question is none other than Randy Orton. As fans may know, The Legend Killer has been on the shelf since May 2022. However, his much-awaited return is reportedly imminent. While rumor has it that Orton could make a comeback at Survivor Series, the company might have him return sooner to swerve fans.

Meanwhile, it was reported earlier that the Stamford-based company is planning to have The Apex Predator return as a heel. If that is indeed the case, Orton could make a blockbuster return at Crown Jewel to lay waste to his former Legacy stablemate, Cody Rhodes.
The Legend Killer could make his presence felt during The American Nightmare's match against The Judgment Day's Damian Priest. Orton could cost Rhodes the win, turning heel for the first time since 2021. This potential angle would then lay down the foundations for an epic clash between the two veterans.
Cody Rhodes' take on a potential match against Randy Orton
Cody Rhodes recently shared his opinion on a potential dream match against The Viper, Randy Orton. In a recent interview with Billboard, The American Nightmare revealed that he is open to the idea of facing Orton inside the ring.
“It almost feels like it’s a first-time-ever match, because we wrestled against one another. We tagged together, we traveled together, but Randy arrived in WWE and was ready to go right out of the box.I have taken every piece of that little broken road that I’ve been on to really build what the American Nightmare is. Who I am when I step into the ring, and having that confidence, knowing my skillset, strengths and weaknesses. That’s why it comes across to me like this match never happened before, and I can only hope that Randy gets healthy and gets back to what he does — because he’s so, so, great at it.
