#5 Kofi Kingston hails Randy Orton as WWE Hall of Famer

Kofi Kingston had kind words for Randy Orton

WWE Superstar Kofi Kingston shares a long, exciting history with Randy Orton. Both superstars haven't always seen eye to eye, but that didn't stop The New Day member from acknowledging Orton's in-ring greatness. During a recent interview, Kingston stated that The Viper is already a WWE Hall of Famer in his head.

He feels that Orton is the most experienced superstar on the current WWE roster, and he has also shown a lot of personal growth over the years. Here's what Kingston had to say about Randy Orton:

"Now he’s the guy who has the most experience on the roster – I can’t think of anyone currently has more experience than him, so you have to respect that. He has the respect of a lot of people in a lot of different ways. He’s changed in a lot of ways, too, and I think you see that personal growth. In my mind he is already a Hall of Famer. I would never tell any of this to him as he’d never let me live any of it down! So he’ll never hear that come out of my mouth, but I can’t sit here and lie to you and say he’s not up there because he definitely is," said Kofi Kingston.
