Randy Orton reveals the real secret to how he got so big after returning to WWE
WWE Superstar Randy Orton recently opened up about his current physique and what he did to gain a lot of weight. He mentioned that he stole something from catering and consumed a lot of it.
The Viper is one of the most decorated wrestlers in the history of the industry, and he is regarded by many fans, wrestlers, and pundits as one of the greatest of all time. He made his long-awaited return to the Stamford-based company at the Survivor Series: WarGames 2023 Premium Live Event, where he helped Team Cody Rhodes defeat The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre in the Men's WarGames Match.
While speaking to Cody Rhodes on the latest edition of What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, Randy Orton stated that he has been eating a lot of Nutella, and that is how he was able to bulk up to 290 pounds. The Legend Killer admitted that he stole a bottle of the chocolate spread before he wrestled Gunther and ate the whole thing.
"I stole a bottle of Nutella from catering and consumed the entire thing before my match with Gunther and probably gained like nine pounds that night. I was sugared up to the gills, yeah... I want a Nutella deal so I've been consuming a lot of Nutella hence the 290 pounds. See those traps? That's Nutella, bro. I wore traps provided by Nutella," Randy Orton said. [36:08 - 36:42]

Randy Orton will wrestle Gunther again at WWE Bash in Berlin 2024
At the 2024 King and Queen of the Ring Premium Live Event, Gunther defeated Randy Orton to become the new King of the Ring. He also received a World Heavyweight Championship match at SummerSlam 2024, which he won by dethroning Damian Priest. After the show, Randy Orton confronted The Ring General on RAW and reminded him that his shoulder was not down when the referee counted to three during the 2024 King of the Ring tournament final in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The Viper then challenged Gunther to a World Heavyweight Championship match at Bash in Berlin, which the Imperium leader accepted. It will be interesting to see whether Randy Orton will walk out of Germany as a 15-time World Champion.
