5 WWE heels who broke character and praised babyfaces

#2 Randy Orton congratulates Kofi Kingston on bagging a WWE Title shot

Orton RKOs Kofi

Kofi Kingston got a big push around a decade ago when he feuded with Randy Orton and went on to defeat him in a Traditional Survivor Series 5-on-5 match. The push was suddenly halted after an in-ring incident that saw Orton going off on Kingston for not following the script. Reportedly, Orton used his backstage influence and it led to Kofi's main event push getting canceled.

On the road to WrestleMania, Orton, still, a heel, broke character and praised Kofi Kingston on social media. On Ali's post about his talk with Kofi, Orton chimed in on the comment section and congratulated him for getting an opportunity at the WWE Title at WrestleMania. Orton lost to AJ Styles at 'Mania, while Kofi won the WWE Title by defeating Daniel Bryan in front of a roaring crowd at MetLife Stadium.
