Randy Orton To Mysterious WWE Caller: ‘I’ll See You In St. Louis’

An intriguing part of the Randy Orton-Cody Rhodes storyline that’s being played out on “WWE SmackDown” is the mystery caller, and Orton has revealed when we will learn the identity of the caller. 

Orton, over the last few weeks, has spoken to someone seemingly close to him and associated with the pro wrestling business. His most recent video on social media has shown him speaking to the caller once again, and during the conversation, we learned that the mystery caller will be present at this week’s “SmackDown,” which will be in his hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.

“Likewise, man. I appreciate everything you’re doing for me. Yeah, I think that we’re good to go. This Friday, right? I’ll see you in St. Louis,” said Orton.

He put his phone to his chest, took a deep breath, and looked at a photo that was placed beside him, which appeared to be that of his father, WWE Hall of Famer “Cowboy” Bob Orton. Previously, Orton was seen speaking to this mystery caller, where he told the caller that he was pleased to meet him recently. The caller also informed “The Viper” that he watched what Orton did to Cody Rhodes on “WWE SmackDown,” when he attacked and brutalized the WWE Champion. He also thanked the caller for something that they had done for him, although Orton didn’t really drop any hints of what that could be.

The identity of the mystery caller is still — no pun intended — a mystery, with some alleging that it could be Randy Orton’s father, Bob, who has previously been involved in his storylines. Some involved in the pro wrestling business, like WWE’s Nattie, have made more left-field picks, with her mentioning that it would be great to see Shane McMahon as the mystery caller, while The Rock is another obvious choice — owing to his story with Rhodes — although reports have suggested it isn’t him.

WWE’s Paul Heyman: It’s An Insult To Be Called ‘One Of’ Wrestling’s Greatest Minds

WWE Hall of Famer Paul Heyman has taken offense to being called one of the greatest minds in the business and asserted that he is the greatest mind in pro wrestling history.

Heyman recently spoke to “VGC,” where he was introduced by the interviewer as one of the greatest minds in pro wrestling. The legendary manager didn’t take too kindly to that introduction, claiming that being called “one of” rather than “the greatest” doesn’t sit well with him.

“One of the greatest minds? Not the greatest mind? I’ll explain this to you. ‘One of’ is an insult. The ‘greatest’ is not. If you are in bed with your spouse and after a passionate night of lovemaking, your spouse turns to you and says, ‘You’re one of the greatest lovers I’ve ever been with.’ Would you be happy or would you be looking for a new spouse the next morning? Who wouldn’t be happy? You’d be filing for divorce,” he explained.

When the interviewer explained that he referred to Heyman as one of the greatest minds in pro wrestling out of respect for the late Bobby Heenan, Heyman bluntly noted that Heenan is dead while also explaining why he considers himself the greatest.

“Let’s just have this debate right now. I’m so sick of hearing that name. How many champions has Bobby Heenan managed? You can count them on one hand. You can’t count mine on one, you can barely count them on two. How many WrestleMania main events was he in? The only person that’s been in more WrestleMania main events than me is Roman Reigns. If you want to just say, ‘Well, that doesn’t count because you’re a manager, an Advocate, a Wiseman, an Oracle.’ Okay, so let’s put it this way. When I’m in people’s corners in WrestleMania, the number is 10. You know who’s in second place? Stephanie McMahon. You know what number she’s at? 3. Please tell me how anybody measures up to my accomplishments.”

He concluded the argument by saying that he has managed more champions and that Heenan is not in his league when it comes to accomplishments as a manager.

Randy Orton Teases Meeting Mystery Ally Ahead of WWE SmackDown in St. Louis

Randy Orton Teases Meeting Mystery Ally Ahead of WWE SmackDown in St. Louis

Since turning heel on Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton has continued to build intrigue around a possible alliance with a mystery associate.

Over the past several weeks, Orton has hinted at working with someone connected to another well-known wrestling family, though he has yet to confirm the identity. The storyline took another step forward when Orton shared a social media update suggesting the two are finally set to meet.

“Likewise, man. I appreciate everything you’ve been doing for me. Yeah, I think we are good to go. This Friday, right? I’d see you in St. Louis,” Orton said.

The upcoming episode of WWE SmackDown is scheduled for April 3, 2026, and will take place in St. Louis, Orton’s hometown. The location has only added to speculation about who might appear alongside him.

Orton’s recent change in attitude began after he won the 2026 Elimination Chamber, securing a shot at Rhodes’ Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42. Since then, he has fully embraced a more aggressive and villainous approach.

In the weeks following his victory, Orton has targeted multiple names, including Rhodes, Matt Cardona, and even his former tag team partner Jelly Roll.

With WrestleMania 42 approaching, the tease of a mystery ally adds another layer to Orton’s storyline. If the meeting does take place on SmackDown, it could provide a major reveal that impacts the championship picture heading into the event.
