Randy Orton, a 14-time world champion and one of the most prominent figures in WWE, has built a reputation as an intimidating force behind the scenes. However, according to his colleague Kevin Owens, Orton has a surprising expectation from his fellow wrestlers. Despite being a legend in the wrestling world, Orton prefers to be treated like just another roster member, rather than someone special.
Owens, who recently formed an alliance with Orton on SmackDown, shared his insight into Orton’s personality during a conversation with WWE personality Kayla Braxton ahead of Backlash France.
Owens, a former Universal Champion, has had a history with Orton, dating back to 2015 when they faced off in a singles match on RAW. The bout ended in a disqualification victory for Orton, but what stood out was Owens’ approach to their encounter.
Owens recalled how Orton appreciated that he didn’t treat him differently, despite being a seasoned wrestler. This revelation sheds light on Orton’s humble nature, which may come as a surprise to many fans. The fact that Orton, a veteran with over two decades of experience, prefers to be treated like an equal rather than a legend, speaks volumes about his character.
This dynamic was on full display at WrestleMania XL, where Orton and Owens engaged in a thrilling triple threat match against Logan Paul. The 17-minute contest ended with Paul emerging victorious, but the match showcased the chemistry between Orton and Owens.
The question on everyone’s mind is, what’s next for this unlikely duo? Will they continue to work together, or will their paths diverge once again?
As the WWE universe continues to evolve, fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for Orton and Owens. One thing is certain – their partnership has brought a fresh dynamic to the SmackDown roster, and fans are eagerly anticipating what’s to come.
