Cody Rhodes defeated Randy Orton at Night of Champions on Saturday to win the King of the Ring tournament and earn a world title match at SummerSlam. The American Nightmare successfully countered Orton’s RKO twice, but the Viper retaliated by removing the turnbuckle pad, forcing Rhodes to counterattack.
Rhodes eventually landed a Powerbomb, which sent Orton crashing to the mat. He followed up with an elbow drop, securing the pin and claiming victory in the tournament. With this win, Cody Rhodes earns a world title match at SummerSlam, where he will face the current champion.
