Randy Orton has been in the professional wrestling business for a long time and throughout the course of his career he’s received a lot of praise from his peers. The Viper has crossed paths with many familiar names including current AEW star Malakai Black.
Recently Malakai Black talked a little bit about working with Randy Orton on the Undisputed Podcast, and he noted that Orton had an interesting reaction after getting hit with the former NXT Champion’s finisher Black Mass.
“Me and obviously Randy get into it and obviously, Randy being the most, the greatest… I cannot express how it is to be in there with Randy Orton who is just — he is a step above being a ring general. He just knows everything and the slightest body movement and every body — it’s insane how crazy good Randy is.
So it’s time to come for the heel kick and you know, I hit him with it and as I hit him with it, he goes, ‘Oh brother, that’s amazing’ and he falls down. It’s one of my favorite stories.”
Black also praised Roman Reigns when he added, “I have a lot of love for Roman (Reigns) because of the road he’s traveled. I think The Bloodline stuff is probably some of the best storyline in wrestling that we’ve seen in — oh my God, it’s so compelling, it’s so good. I’m sure that (Paul) Heyman has his hands in that as well…”
Randy Orton has been out of action for over a year now, and although WWE has yet to announce any plans for his return it’s rumored that he could be back at some point in the coming months. Stay tuned for updates.
