5 WWE Superstars who got angry at wrestling being called 'fake'

#2 Randy Orton blasted American rapper Soulja Boy for calling WWE 'fake'

Randy Orton

WWE Superstar Randy Orton is one of the most famous wrestlers in history and is a guaranteed future Hall of Famer. He has spoken up actively about how much a wrestling career takes out of a person. So, he was bound to get angry when someone who hadn't been a part of the business called it fake.

Recently, American rapper Soulja Boy called WWE 'fake', and Randy Orton wasn't one to let this one slide by. The Viper took to Twitter to launch a tirade against the rapper. Orton made it clear that WWE is similar to a movie, except that wrestlers are actors who perform stunts without using padding, and don't complain about the injuries they sustain.

Here is WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss' exchange with Soulja Boy:

What’s a “Soulja boy”? 🧐 Well, whatever it is ... Randy is not happy with it. #watchmeyuuuuuu

The former WWE Champion then claimed that Bad Bunny would easily beat up Soulja Boy, as the former has seen the business and respects it. Orton finished off his rant by calling out the rapper and daring him to come to WWE and call it 'fake' to his face. Several WWE Superstars and wrestlers from other companies took exception to Soulja Boy's comments as well.
