Confusion surrounding Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton at WrestleMania wasnt just limited to fans watching at home even people inside WWE struggled to explain what the story was supposed to be. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Garrett Gonzales brought up the match because he felt lost trying to understand what WWE was trying to tell with the story. The way the match played out especially the finish and aftermath left him questioning the direction. After hearing that concern, Dave Meltzer admitted he shared the same confusion and had already tried to get answers from WWE contacts. Meltzer then explained that he reached out to people inside WWE to better understand the plan behind the match, but never got a solid explanation. He went on to say that while the in-ring portion of the match itself felt strong, the ending including the post-match punt completely changed how he viewed the situation. He also noted that many fans ranked the match among the worst on the WrestleMania card, not because of the action itself, but because the storytelling left people unsure what they had just watched. Even days later, Meltzer said he still couldnt make sense of what WWE was trying to accomplish, especially with how both characters shifted roles throughout the match and aftermath. He also pointed to the finish itself as creating more questions than answers. Cody Rhodes picked up a clean win, but Ortons attack immediately afterward suggested unfinished business. He compared the situation to past wrestling storylines that struggled to convince audiences, suggesting that fan reactions may ultimately determine how the story moves forward. Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton was positioned as a major WrestleMania moment, but the fallout clearly left many viewers trying to figure out what direction WWE intended to take. With Ortons post-match actions hinting at unfinished business, the situation may still be building toward something bigger but the early reaction shows that plenty of fans walked away unsure what the long-term goal actually was.
