Randy Orton has been a part of the WWE roster for over 20 years and throughout his run with the company he’s worked with a wide variety of wrestlers from multiple eras.
During a recent appearance on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Heidenreich recalled an incident that occurred while he was training with Randy Orton, and he noted that he thought he was going to be fired after hurting The Viper.
“Me and Randy, we were actually practicing one day, and I went to give him a sunset flip, or he was giving one, and I lost my balance and fell on him. I landed on his face and neck, and I thought I hurt him, man. I was like, I’m done. That’s Randy Orton. I thought I might have hurt his neck.”
“He turned out to be fine. They called an ambulance, bro, because I thought I landed on his face and his neck, and I was thinking ‘Oh my God, if I hurt him, I’ll say I’m just gonna quit, because they might kill me.’”
Another former WWE star recently opened up about his belief that Randy Orton pushed to get him fired, and you can get more details on that here.
