Randy Orton makes out-of-character remarks on long-time rival and former WWE Champion

3-time World Champion Randy Orton isn't one to dish out compliments easily. But the former Evolution member has made an exception for his long-time nemesis John Cena on this occasion.

Speaking to Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast, Orton admitted that Cena was a master and further went on to call him a "****** ninja".

Yep, he said it. @RandyOrton REALLY hates to compliment @JohnCena. Get the full story on an ALL-NEW @AfterTheBellWWE with @WWEGraves TOMORROW! #AfterTheBell🎧 https://t.co/zzAW52Own6 pic.twitter.com/vvlsZazw7L

Orton and Cena have had a storied history, as the two men often found themselves opposing each other throughout their career. Both men made their debut for WWE in 2002 and have gone on to become the biggest stars of their generation.

The master of the RKO even challenged Cena to a match at Wrestlemania 36, although The Champ has not given a concrete answer to the proposal as of now. The two men have never faced each other in one-on-one competition at the Grandest Stage of Them All, and so it could be a dream match for all the fans if it does take place.

While Cena is busy with his Hollywood career, for now, Orton is involved in a rather interesting story with RAW Superstar Ricochet, as The Viper continues to play mind games with the former US Champion each week on RAW.
