Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton set for Last Man Standing match at Crown Jewel

"

Cody Rhodes showed a glimpse of his dark side last week on SmackDown when he punted Baron Corbin’s head off. As a result, WWE commentators revealed tonight (Oct. 23) that Corbin is out indefinitely due to various contusions, strains, and whatnot. Orton and Rhodes were both in the ring tonight for another talking segment. Orton was impressed with Cody’s balls last week but remains confident that Cody will hesitate to punt him. Cody responded by calling Orton a cowardly little bitch, and saying “RKO” has been replaced by “IOU” as the three most dangerous letters in WWE. .@CodyRhodes is going OFF! 🫢 pic.twitter.com/x1IpydRplQ — WWE (@WWE) October 24, 2026 Things escalated from there, so GM Nick Aldis came out and booked them in a Last Man Standing match at Crown Jewel, which is currently scheduled to take place on Nov. 7 in a war zone in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
