WWE Hall of Famer shares his honest thoughts on Randy Orton after training with him (Exclusive)
Randy Orton made his presence felt in WWE again after starting a feud with the newly crowned World Heavyweight Champion, Gunther. A Hall of Famer recently shared his thoughts on the rivalry, commenting on what The Viper is like when it comes to the gym.
Since his return to action in 2023 at Survivor Series, Randy has seemingly made it his mission to be in the best possible shape ever in his career. The multi-time champion has buffed up significantly, sporting an impressively muscular physique coupled with his usual agility. According to Teddy Long, who had trained with him briefly, this was due to Randy's dedication in the gym.
Speaking on Sportskeeda's The Wrestling Time Machine hosted by Mac Davis, the WWE Hall of Famer stated:
"I trained with him a little bit too, you know. He is a guy who stays in the gym and keeps himself in good shape... You gotta stay in good condition and good shape to do this job. So, like you said, I saw him too. He looks phenomenal." [7:53 onwards]

The WWE Hall of Famer also commented on Roman Reigns' return
According to Teddy Long, the fans' perception when it comes to whether Roman Reigns is a heel or a babyface does not matter.
Speaking on the same episode of The Wrestling Time Machine, the Hall of Famer talked about how the original Tribal Chief has seemingly slipped into a babyface role since his return at SummerSlam.
He stated that Roman's talent as an entertainer was unmatched, leading to him becoming one of the top names in the business.
"It really doesn't make any difference. You know what I mean, whether he is a babyface or a heel. He is an entertainer, and that's what he does best. If he comes across as a heel, they don't care. They love it. They sing that song all day and all night." [4:36 onwards]
For now, fans will have to stay tuned to see what Roman plans to do next in WWE.
