Randy Orton will join forces with Cody Rhodes to battle Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed in a huge tag team match tonight on SmackDown. This will be the first time in a long time that the two former Legacy stablemates will team up in a bout. However, what is set to be a momentous occasion could turn out to be a nightmare for Orton.The Viper may suffer a merciless attack at the hands of his former stablemate, Seth Rollins. The two superstars were part of The Authority faction in WWE during the period of 2013-14. However, Rollins may attack the 45-year-old tonight for one major reason: to remove him from the equation. The Visionary is set to battle Cody Rhodes in a Champion vs. Champion match at Crown Jewel.However, Randy Orton recently stepped into the fray to help his good buddy take on The Vision. Rollins may find this an obstacle in his path, which needs to be removed. Following the tag team match tonight, The Visionary could show up out of nowhere and ambush The Apex Predator. He could launch a merciless attack on Orton in the ring, destroying the latter with multiple Stomps.Meanwhile, Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed could hold Cody Rhodes in one corner of the ring to make him helplessly witness his good friend getting annihilated. Seth Rollins could obliterate Randy Orton before Rhodes' very eyes to make a bold statement that anyone stepping up to help The American Nightmare would suffer the same fate at the hands of The Vision.The Architect may attack and injure the 14-time World Champion (in storyline) to make an example that the same thing awaits Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Hence, he could use Orton as a sacrificial piece to make a deafening statement.
