10 WWE Stars Who Had Heat With Randy Orton
Randy Orton certainly didn't like everyone in WWE
8. Roman Reigns
Back in the Summer of 2013, Roman Reigns was a star on the rise and didn’t have close to the backstage clout he does now. Still, that didn’t stop The Big Dog from getting into it with The Viper.
According to reports, Roman and Randy botched a spot during a tag match on a non-televised live event and then had a shouting match about it backstage.
Since Orton was the 10-plus-year veteran and Reigns the rookie, it was expected that the latter would not argue back.
Interestingly, this created something of an internal power struggle of sorts, as Vince McMahon wanted The Shield punished in response, while Triple H wanted to make sure they were kept strong on TV.
A year later, Randy was accused of trying to slow down Roman’s big babyface push by working a ‘crowd killing’ style of match with Reigns on the road which, ironically, put a bunch of heat on Orton.
Regardless, they managed to work through their issues and had a strong match at SummerSlam.
