Randy Orton was able to get a win over Cody Rhodes by taking advantage of a moment’s hesitation on Sunday Night’s Main Event. The headlining match of Sunday’s Peacock special saw Rhodes and Orton do battle amid their heated rivalry, a match which saw Rhodes fall into his dark side in an attempt to gain retribution from his enemy.

Late in the match, Orton hit an RKO while the referee was down and was unable to get the pin. Rhodes turned it around and nailed Orton with the ringsteps, busting him open. An incensed Rhodes continued the assault and eventually hit two Cross Rhodes before backing up to hit a punt. As he ran in, Orton begged for mercy. Another referee ran in and the distraction allowed Orton to hit a low blow on both the ref and Rhodes. Orton then hit an RKO and the original ref counted the pinfall.
