Randy Orton On WWE Raw: Wrestling Has More Than One Royal Family
Randy Orton breaks his silence.
Orton was originally scheduled to have an interview segment with Michael Cole on the March 16 episode of WWE Raw. Things quickly went south once commentary got Orton on the line, with ‘The Viper’ telling Michael Cole that he isn’t doing an interview anymore.
Instead, Orton finished his phone call with a person that he says he’ll see soon. Orton then referred to a previous conversation that opened him up to “who he is” and why he did what he did to Cody Rhodes on SmackDown.
Orton ended the promo by quoting the opening line from Cody’s theme song, “wrestling has more than one royal family”.
