#1- Randy Orton took a cheap shot at the indies
WWE Champion Randy Orton retweeted a message from Rip Rogers that took a potshot at independent wrestling and thereby sent the sports entertainment world into a tizzy. It devolved into a war of words between Orton and Bubba Ray Dudley, two men who have a history of disliking one another, through their years of working together.
Orton called Dudley an ‘out of shape vet’, while the latter made fun of Randy Orton’s House of Horrors Match at Payback. Orton would continue to undermine independent wrestling by posting gifs of divers being RKO'ed by him in midair.
Almost everyone who is anyone in the sports entertainment world had a take on the matter at hand, either for or (mostly) against Orton.
