Randy Orton Messaged Former WWE Star After He Went Off Script During Promo With Stephanie McMahon

When WWE Superstars perform on live TV they don’t get the chance to do things over, and as we all know anything can happen on a live show.

In 2015 Bryan Danielson had to vacate the IC Title before taking a hiatus from WWE, and a new champion was decided at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. On the road to the Elimination Chamber Ryback found himself in a segment with Stephanie McMahon, and during a recent episode of The Ryback Show he revealed that he actually went off script.

“I remember Randy Orton messaged me after, and he goes, ‘That wasn’t in the script, was it?’ He goes, ‘That was great.’ We were doing a back-and-forth promo… Stephanie started talking and I said something along the lines of, ‘When The Big Guy has the microphone, The Big Guy does the talking, Steph.'”

“She reacted perfectly and played it off very well. That was a really good little moment. That’s the kind of stuff… it got a good reaction. You’ve gotta be able to incorporate [off-script moments] into stuff without going into business for yourself in a bad way, if that makes sense.”

At the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view Ryback went on to defeat Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, Mark Henry, R-Truth, and King Barrett in an Elimination Chamber match to win the vacant Intercontinental Championship.

Ryback parted ways with WWE in 2016 and has teased a possible return to wrestling in recent years, but so far he has not returned.
