Randy Orton is not someone you can put on a leash and that’s something that the fans have been trying to tell his latest foe. The WWE legend is over among all the wrestling fans for a reason, but he is not so popular in the locker room. Turns out, he is not everyone’s cup of tea.

However, there is an impressive reason behind it as explained by former WWE star, Dolph Ziggler. He admires Orton for his work in the industry and so does everybody backstage, making them jealous of him.

Randy Orton makes everything look easy

The Viper has been captivating the viewers for more than two decades. His smooth moves and mic skills are some of the best parts about his presence on the roster, but it’s not easy being him because it makes the others jealous. On the Busted Open Podcast, Ziggler talked about the same. Nic Nemeth, the reigning TNA World Champion, said, “He does little tiny things that are so hard to explain better than all of us and probably just naturally. And it pisses all of us off because we work so hard.”

It is not a straightforward task to be in the good books of everyone that you work with. While Ziggler most probably exaggerated his words to show the impact that The Viper has on the rest of the roster, there is a star on SmackDown who has trouble fitting in with the rest of the crowd.

Has WWE got another Randy Orton already?

LA Knight has been in WWE for a while now. He has had quite a journey in the pro wrestling world and the road to greatness became more difficult when his lack of soft skills got in his way. On a talk show with Cody Rhodes, The Megastar revealed how working in a new environment doesn’t do him much favors. Unlike Rhodes, the dislike from the backstage wrestlers isn’t primarily because of his skills but the personality that he carries around. Knight believes that he is not the most likable person when you meet him at first. While he hasn’t revealed anything about working on this field of his personality, he assured the WWE Universal champion that this doesn’t last forever.

Rather, the wrestler in question is afraid that people won’t like how he carries himself until they have known him closely. After spending some time with him personally or having worked with him for a long time, the WWE United States champion tends to open up better, allowing his magic to take root more easily. This is somewhat different from Randy Orton’s situation, as the talents in the locker room may get even more jealous with time, seeing him achieve great heights by making things look easy.
