WWE Superstar Randy Orton and American Rapper Machine Gun Kelly are now in a real-life feud after MGK claimed that he was involved in a heated altercation with The Viper backstage at SummerSlam. WWE superstar Xavior Woods has expressed his opinion on the issue and made a bold statement in favor of his colleague Randy Orton.
Woods took X and wrote, “If I know one thing about Randy Orton, if someone was to actually curse him to his face, then that person would no longer have the ability to tell that story.”
The American rapper made a big claim
MGK recently appeared on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, where he made a big claim that he had a confrontation with Randy Orton at the SummerSlam. Kelly described the incident by saying, “I saw Randy Orton. I remember I saw Randy Orton talk sh** about me. There was a point where I thought, ‘I’m going to practice being a new version of myself. 3,2,1. F*** that. Ay man, F*** you.”
Following the interview, the controversy elevated when Randy Orton responded to MFK on X with a lying emoji, suggesting that the rapper is bluntly lying. However, Kelly was quick to reply back and stated that he wasn’t lying because WWE cameras were rolling during the altercation. He even asked the company to make it public.
It is not clear yet whether MGK just made up the story or is telling the truth. The New Day member Xavior Woods has refuted the claims, stating that Orton would never let anything like this slide.
Orton is set to face the World Heavyweight champion
Randy Orton returned to action last year after a back injury. Since his return, “The Viper” has been a babyface and has been involved in different storylines. Orton most recently lost the final match of the King in the Ring tournament to Gunther. After the Ring General became the World Heavyweight Champion by defeating Damian Priest, Orton and Gunther continued the feud.

While the Ring General will look to successfully defend his championship, The Viper will have a huge opportunity to become the WWE champion for the fifteenth time in his career.
