"If his last name wouldn't been Orton, that guy wouldn't be here anymore" - 37-year-old WWE star fires serious shots at Randy Orton
A popular 37-year-old WWE Superstar recently fired some serious shots at Randy Orton ahead of the Bash in Berlin Premium Live Event. The star being referred to is the current World Heavyweight Champion Gunther.
Randy Orton and Gunther are currently in a heated feud. The duo locked horns at the King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event, but the match ended controversially in The Ring General's favor as Orton's shoulders were not on the matt during the pinfall.
During an episode of RAW three weeks ago, The Viper highlighted the controversial finish and confronted the Imperium leader for the World Heavyweight Championship. Their match was later made official for Bash in Berlin this Saturday.
Ahead of their clash, WWE posted a YouTube video of Gunther's workout session. During the clip, the current World Heavyweight Champion said that he admired Randy Orton, calling the latter one of the best in history.
However, the 37-year-old star then took a massive shot at The Viper, saying that he believed the latter would not be in the Stamford-based promotion anymore if he did not have the prestigious last name.
"Randy [Orton] would be someone I admire, actually, one of the best in the history of WWE for sure, if not the best. But let's be honest, and just like many of the wrestlers in our generation before him, incredible talents. But what's really inside them is a weak person. By all the success Randy had, if his last name wouldn't been Orton, that guy wouldn't be here anymore, let's be honest," he said. [2:00 - 2:25]
