It will be Hall of Famer vs. third-generation Superstar when Dusty Rhodes meets Randy Orton in a Texas Bull Rope Match at The Great American Bash.
Hostilities between the two began on the July 2 Raw. Dusty was introducing son Cody Rhodes to the locker room when Orton interrupted. After the third-generation Superstar told Cody that he could be better than his old man ever was, Dusty chided Orton for his lack of respect. In response, Orton slapped “The American Dream;†later, during an interview with Todd Grisham, Dusty told Orton to meet him in the ring one week later.
When that confrontation came, Legend and Superstar went back and forth about respect before Orton laid out a challenge: Rhodes vs. Orton at The Great American Bash. Dusty originally balked, but once Orton insulted Cody, he accepted the challenge…on one condition: it be a Texas Bull Rope Match.
This will be Rhodes’ first time in the ring since Survivor Series. Will he become just another notch in Randy Orton's belt, or will “The American Dream†live on in his signature match at the event he made famous?
