When the former RAW Tag Team Champion noticed a child pressed against the barrier, he quickly threw his title to the ground and rushed to the child's rescue. He instructed the fans to move back and wrapped his arms around the kid to save him from getting squashed.

After people backed off, The Apex Predator checked on the child and spoke to fans around him before carrying on to the ring. As the video circulated on social media, many fans praised Orton for saving the child's life.
