What should have been a feud that tied up nearly two decades' worth of storytelling at WrestleMania 42 turned into something that will be looked back at as a disaster. As TKO insisted on inserting Pat McAfee into a main event feud at the biggest show of the year for entirely unconvincing reasons, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton watched their chance to tell their story on The Grandest Stage of Them All go up in flames.

And so the question becomes “now what?” Orton hasn’t been seen since WrestleMania in Vegas, and Cody Rhodes is about to take on Gunther at Clash In Italy in another feud that seems to have been thrown together haphazardly. Presuming that The American Nightmare gets past the big Austrian, do WWE try to right the massive wrong that occurred between Orton and Rhodes at this year's WrestleMania?

There’s no doubt that there’s a hell of a story to be told between these two superstars, whose careers feel so entwined with one another. It will involve everyone having to Men In Black their minds of the nonsense that occurred around McAfee and Mania, and even that might not be enough, such was the storytelling monstrosity that happened to ruin their feud earlier this year. The sad reality is that this match might have a stain on it that proves impossible to wash away.
