During the segment, Orton received a mysterious phone call from an unknown source, an angle that has already sparked widespread speculation.

The duo floated the possibility of WWE Hall of Famer and Orton’s father, Bob Orton Jr., being on the other end of the call.
However, Bully Ray was quick to dismiss that theory, offering a detailed explanation: “But if you go by the end of the phone call, he never says the word ‘Goodbye.’ He never says ‘Bye.’ No ‘I love you.’ It was a bit cold way to end the call,” said Ray.
Interestingly, Randy Orton later told Michael Cole that there is more than one “royal family” in wrestling, potentially hinting that the call could still be connected to his father.
