Former WWE writer believes neither Randy Orton nor Cody Rhodes needed to win on SmackDown

On last week's SmackDown, both Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes won their respective King of the Ring tournament matches to qualify for the semifinals. During a recent edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling's BroDown, former WWE writer Vince Russo said neither Orton nor Rhodes needed the win on the blue show, as both stars are already main eventers.

Russo added that the Triple H-led creative team booked these two to win because the current locker room lacked star power.

"This just goes to show you everything we are talking about. At this point in their careers, where they are on the card, does Randy Orton or Cody Rhodes really need to be winning King of the Ring? This just shows you that nobody is over. They keep going back to the same people."

It remains to be seen what WWE has planned for Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes in the King of the Ring tournament.
