It’s been a few months since fans have seen Randy Orton on WWE programming as The Viper is currently out of action due to injury. It’s unclear when Orton could return, but he recently had an interesting exchange with DDP.
During an appearance on the Battleground Podcast DDP noted that Randy Orton reached out to him to show some love in response to some positive things DDP had said about the former WWE Champion.
“Randy had seen that I put him over on something. So, I get a DM out of nowhere from Randy Orton and he says, ‘Appreciate the kind words I saw the other day, not sure if it was recent or not. Also, I just want to say I saw the Diamond Cutter last week and I immediately Googled your age. Good for you, brother. Being happy and healthy after all the bumps are done is priority one. After the money, of course,’ and then he says, ‘It’s so good to see you enjoying all three. I love seeing you help the brothers of our industry.'”
DDP also went on to praise Randy Orton for taking the Diamond Cutter to a different level with the RKO, and he made it clear that he’s happy Randy made the move his own.
“I love the way he took what I did and he really kind of took it to a different level with some of the different changes, new stuff that he’d come up with, or whoever he was with came up with. He’s an amazing athlete and I’ve always loved the fact that he was the guy to take on the Cutter and rename it.”
