After conferring with Triple H, Raw General Manager Brad Maddox officially announced the bout Saturday night on Twitter. Maddox was quick to note, however, that a victory over The Viper by the former Intercontinental and United States Champion isn't all that will be required for Cody to get his job back.

Since @DUSTIN_RHODES1 has asked how he can help his brother. I've confirmed w/ @TripleH to allow him to compete against @RandyOrton on #RAW
Brad Maddox @BradMaddoxIsWWE
If @DUSTIN_RHODES1 wins and @CodyRhodesWWE apologizes, he gets his job back. So bring your paint cause it's Goldust vs Orton monday
