March 4, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Randy Orton will challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42, according to recent reports.

Following creative rewrites, WWE plans for Orton, the winner of the 2026 Men's Elimination Chamber, to face Rhodes for the title at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. Rhodes is expected to regain the championship from Drew McIntyre in their rematch on "SmackDown" this Friday.

The Rhodes-Orton match is described as a major encounter WWE has wanted to produce, with Orton's Elimination Chamber victory viewed as a "nice surprise" to fans. McIntyre's direction after his expected title loss remains unclear.
