Randy Orton made a shocking return to WWE SummerSlam 2026, hitting an RKO on Cody Rhodes before CM Punk was able to capitalize with a fifth GTS. 
Randy Orton as a heel will add some much-needed balance to the WWE roster, but Orton is a legend who was cheered upon his return and will be cheered as a heel. 
Suddenly, WWE has a heel problem. 
Cody Rhodes and CM Punk told a very good story in what is becoming a stale formula of babyfaces battling for world titles in big matches. 
Rhodes faced WWE legend Randy Orton at WrestleMania 42 Night 1, who was cheered so much as a babyface leading up to the event WWE paired him with Pat McAfee in a polarizing decision. 
CM Punk returned to a rousing ovation in his hometown of Chicago to regain the WWE Championship with a win over Sami Zayn, who held the title for just nine days. 
Punk faced fellow babyface Roman Reigns in the main event of SummerSlam Night 2.
