Wrestling veteran shoots on Randy Orton's views on Vince McMahon; feels he had a "better answer" than other WWE stars
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently spoke about Randy Orton addressing the allegations against Vince McMahon.
During a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Orton spoke about Janel Grant's lawsuit against Vince McMahon. The Viper claimed that his heart was hurting after reading the allegations. He mentioned that he owed all his success to Mr. McMahon but would be devastated if the allegations proved to be true.
During a recent episode of Story Time with Dutch Mantell podcast, former wrestling manager Dutch Mantell claimed that Randy's stance on the situation was much better than John Cena's take. He felt that things would get worse for Vince McMahon in the coming days. The former WWE manager stated that with every passing day, he was more inclined to believe Janel Grant's claims in the lawsuit.
"Well, that's a much better answer I think, than what [John] Cena put out. Cena sounded to me like he was kinda on Vince's side, but Randy Orton said, 'I hope that's not true.' We just went over Seth Rollins and what he said about it, but this is gonna get worse before it gets better. When I think of Vince, I can't help but think that, I don't know, I gotta keep using that word 'allegedly.' I think this is her definition or description of what happened. I'm more inclined to believe it now more than ever, because it sounds like something he might do," Dutch Mantell said. [1:24 - 2:27]
