Randy Orton's beef with MGK—Is this the most unexpected WWE feud ever?

The 2024 edition of WWE SummerSlam was truly an intense PLE for many WWE superstars. It featured betrayals such as Dominik Mysterio turning his back on Rhea Ripley, massive returns such as the return of the Original Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, and it also had celebrity appearances such as Machine Gun Kelly accompanying the then United States Champion Logan Paul.

But do you know that the rapper had an encounter with a WWE superstar that could’ve gotten really ugly? As ugly as AEW All In 2023, where CM Punk got into a brawl with Jack Perry. At least that’s what MGK wants us to believe as he joined Logan Paul as a guest on his Impaulsive podcast. One where he revealed his run-in with the Viper, Randy Orton.

According to the Cleveland native, he ran into Orton before the show kicked off, and all he could remember at the moment was that Orton once talked smacked about the rapper. So while MGK initially felt like trying to suppress his anger, he couldn’t. Instead, he said “F*ck you” to the Viper on his face while his friends looked at him with stunned expressions.

He said, “When I was in the ring yesterday (at SummerSlam), just coming to say what’s up to Logan (Paul) and see what we could work out for the show and I saw Randy Orton and I remember seeing Randy Orton talk sh*t about me… There’s a point where I’m like, I’m gonna practice a new version of myself and then three, two, one, I’m like, f*ck that. ‘Aye man, f*ck you.’ Yeah (that really happened). I don’t know where you were, but I remember all my boys were sitting there like… ‘Is this real? Is this part of the script? I don’t know what’s happening…’”

He further added, “The amount of people that pin me as the aggressor in every situation that I’m in are so wrong. I do nothing but commit myself to art and there’s another funny factor. Just the art of me standing or existing makes people furious.” Well, it seems like MGK had strong feelings towards Orton that he couldn’t help suppress. But all this is from the perspective of the rapper, since according to Orton, no such incident ever took place.

Randy Orton calls out the Cleveland rapper for lying

As soon as MGK made the statement, it was no wonder that it went viral. It had everybody from the WWE Universe as well as outside talking about it. Soon, it also reached the ears of the Viper who had come up with a simple reply. Taking to his Twitter, Orton tweeted a simple elongated nose emoji and tagged MGK, implying that the rapper is definitely not telling the truth.

It is something that is not hard to believe since Orton is a menacing figure to talk smack against. Especially if you are a 63 kg rapper with no fighting background. However, MGK believes Orton is trying to hide the truth as he replied, “You have my number, and you know why you have it btw but I won’t even put you on blast for that. check your texts.”

It surely looks like the WWE should book another appearance for the rapper where he faces Orton. Something similar to his appearance in 2015 when he received a powerbomb from Kevin Owens on Monday Night RAW. This isn’t the first time that MGK has been involved in a heated public conflict with someone from combat sports. He also had an altercation with UFC fighter Sean Strickland at a Power Slap event in Las Vegas. What do you think? Do you believe MGK’s claims? Let us know in the comments.
