Kevin Owens and Randy Orton are both former World Champions, but it seems that their issues with each other stem from the fact that it was Orton who prevented Owens and his best friend Sami Zayn from joining Team SmackDown team Survivor Series next weekend.
Recently there were reports that Zayn and Owens had been sent home from the European tour, and it seems that last night on Twitter Randy Orton confirmed this when he decided to thrown shade at Owens for attending a dessert party.
It was great meeting you guys. Congrats and good luck! https://t.co/OqSyHYrfqc

Owens seemed to think the best response was to state that Orton had an issue with vaping before The Viper then stated that he had given up and brought up the fact that Owens had recently been sent home from the tour.
You vape. https://t.co/qcYWcCPAw2

I actually quit vaping this European tour, but you wouldn’t know because you ain’t here. https://t.co/PjDtQIo95N

By the way, that’s the best comeback you’ve blown in years. https://t.co/JNDXLTlrVH

Orton didn’t respond to Owens, it seems that The Viper could be waiting until he has a live mic on WWE TV which is where he does his best talking.
There’s a lesson here, kids.
Don’t tweet in haste. You might come up with something better than what you originally settled for just minutes later but the effect…it just won’t be the same.
Good night.— Kevin Owens (@FightOwensFight) November 13, 2017
Kevin Owens and Randy Orton have had a number of exchanges on Twitter over the past few years, with Orton usually having to tell a joke about Owens’ weight. It seems that a feud between them could be building on WWE TV following Survivor Series if it is Owens and Zayn that decide to cost their team the match.
This is an excellent way to lay the foundations moving forward, you never can tell with these two SmackDown stars as to whether or not this is real heat or if they really are just setting up a future feud.
