WWE shares heartwarming moment between Randy Orton and young fan
WWE shared a heartwarming video featuring Randy Orton and a young wrestling fan. The moment took place at a recent Live Event in Lakeland, Florida.
Randy Orton will be competing in a major match at Bash in Berlin at the end of the month. The SmackDown star has made the switch to RAW for the time being to have a rivalry with World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. The Ring General will be defending the title against The Legend Killer at the premium live event at the end of the month.
Earlier today, the company shared a video of Orton signing a young wrestling fan's sign and sharing a photo with them as seen in the Instagram post below.
Gunther defeated Randy Orton in the finals of the King of the Ring Tournament earlier this year. However, the match had a controversial finish as The Viper's shoulder was not down during the pinfall.
Randy Orton opens up about Vince McMahon's departure from WWE
Randy Orton recently discussed Vince McMahon's resignation from the company. The 78-year-old departed the promotion earlier this year due to allegations from former WWE employee Janel Grant.
Speaking with Bill Apter in an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling this past June, Orton noted that it was nice not having Mr. McMahon around anymore. He praised Triple H and Nick Khan, stating that the company is now in a different era.
"All the opportunities he [Vince McMahon] gave me, it's nice having him out of there and it's nice having his son-in-law, Triple H, running the game. Nick Khan's great. Everybody in TKO that's come in, stepped in, they seem to get it, and it's just a different era," Orton said. [4:19 – 4:35]
