Randy Orton has proven himself as one of the top stars in WWE over the last few decades and has also been consistent. The star called out the company after a mistake was made on SmackDown last week, and his wife supported him.
The Viper was out injured for most of 2022 and 2023 but returned at Survivor Series last year. When he returned, he had undergone a physical transformation, appearing much buffer than before and seemed to have put on a lot more muscle. The transformation was noticeable to any fan following Orton over his career.
On SmackDown last week, when he was making his way out to the ring for the Triple Threat match to determine the participants in the upcoming Men's Money in the Bank ladder match, the announcer pointed out his weight was 275. He didn't hesitate to call that out and said it was a mistake. He said he was not 275 but 290 lbs and that he'd been "eating."
“275? I'm like 290? I've been eatin'… I've been eatin'! I been eatin'! Big boy coming through.”
He immediately called out the mistake made by the WWE official, so it remains to be seen if the correct weight is announced this week on SmackDown when the star makes his appearance. The video has been posted by WWE themselves, and even his wife, Kim, put it on her story, showing her immediate agreement with what he was saying.
Randy Orton already has a match for the coming WWE Money in the Bank event
Randy Orton is set to team with Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens at the coming Money in the Bank event. The star has been feuding with The Bloodline for a while now and, even in Roman Reigns' absence, has found himself at odds with the new version of the faction.
The three stars will be facing Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Tonga Loa. Now with the addition of Jacob Fatu, there's a chance the new star will also compete, leaving Randy Orton's team searching for another partner or risk being outnumbered.
