5 Times WWE Superstars got legitimately angry at their opponents in the ring

#1 Randy Orton yells 'stupid' at Kofi Kingston (WWE RAW)

Kofi Kingston

Back in 2009, Kofi Kingston received a major push on WWE RAW and kicked off a feud with Randy Orton, the biggest villain on WWE TV at the time. Kofi had his fair share of memorable moments during the feud, including a major win at Survivor Series 2009 which saw him last eliminating Orton for the victory. Weeks later, Orton, Kofi, and John Cena met in a Triple Threat match on WWE RAW, with the winner getting a title shot against Sheamus at the 2010 Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

During the final moments of the match, Orton prepared to hit a Punt on Kofi, but the latter got back up before the move could be executed. Orton hit Kofi with an RKO that looked stiff, and yelled 'stupid' twice at him, before securing him for the pin. Kofi's push was halted immediately after, and it would be around a decade before he would get his moment to shine at the big stage. Kofi won the WWE title at WrestleMania 35 in 2019 and went on to defeat Orton to retain his title months later.
