Current on-screen member of Triple H’s Authority group, Randy Orton, will duke it out with John Cena in a double main event at the “Hell in a Cell” pay-per-view on Oct. 26. The two familiar foes will compete in one of two matches to be contested inside the cell structure, with the winner becoming the number one contender to WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar. For now, WWE has not specified a date for the winner’s title shot, simply saying one will come in the “future.” Past reports state that WWE’s current plans would see Brock Lesnar make his next title defense at “Royal Rumble” against John Cena.
F4WOnline has recently published a report, which contains backstage information on how Randy Orton interacts with WWE’s creative department. According to the website, when Orton wants to reject an idea for his character from the creative team, he commonly uses a unique phrase. Instead of just saying something like “no,” Orton will turn down stuff from the creative workers by telling them to “ask Triple H.” Within the WWE locker room, this is known to be Orton’s euphemism for no.
The 12-time world champion has developed a close relationship with Triple H both inside and outside the squared circle. Some of Orton’s first work in WWE was with Triple H in their Evolution faction. During his first stint with the group, in 2004, the 24-year-old became the youngest world champion in WWE history at the time.

Somewhat interesting, yet, at the same time, not too surprising.
