It was reported yesterday that Barrett will be looking to leave WWE when his contract expires in June. Wade Barrett himself responded to the reports saying that he would comment further at an appropriate time.
Following all of the commotion, the official Randy Orton Facebook page posted a video clip of Orton fighting Barrett with the following caption:
“One thing #TheViper doesn’t respect: A COWARD.”
It looks like the “COWARD” part is directed at Barrett. Coincidence, poor timing, or intentional? Who knows. But it’s worth noting that Randy Orton does not run the account and it’s run by people who work for WWE. You can see the post below.
One thing #TheViper doesn't respect: A COWARD.

As far as other WWE Superstars commenting on the departure go, Ryback has already called “dibs” on some of Barrett’s moves.
I call dibs on Wastleland and spinning Mule Kick! #FeedMeMoreMoves

I unexpectedly received a lot of very nice messages from people today. Thank you to everyone who took the time to write some kind words.

I'll comment further at a more appropriate time, but for now I'm 100% focused on doing my job for @WWE. See you at #FastLane on Sunday.
