Randy Orton has a lot on his plate right now. WWE has given him the biggest opportunity of his life.
The match against Edge at Backlash has been promoted as the “Greatest Wrestling Match Ever”. Everyone is eagerly waiting for it, as the two are set to put a huge feud to rest.
Dragging Orton’s step like gum stuck on the sole of his show is Tommaso Ciampa. The two have elevated their feud over the week to another level.

The best part about it is that most of the exchanges and trash-talking so far has been going on on Twitter! The roast exchange has reached feud-worthy heights.
The twitter front all began when Randy Orton tweeted his feelings about the NXT Takeover match. Ciampa took on Karrion Kross in a huge encounter but was decisively defeated.
In his tweet, Orton joked about ‘leg slapping’ in the NXT. Marking it as insulting, Ciampa replied to Orton’s tweet.
He said that he used Orton’s matches as a remedy to make his daughter sleep. He added that it worked better than NyQuil!
For those of you who may not know, leg slapping is a technique used by wrestlers. They slap their legs to sort of stimulate or prepare their thigh muscles for a move. This is generally a high kick or any move that requires stretching the leg muscles.
Randy Orton didn’t ignore Ciampa’s comment and took the roast fest on. He replied to the tweet, saying that he didn’t realize he insulted the “self-appointed locker room leader of a wrestling school”.
Randy Orton is as lethal with tweets as he is with the RKO
Orton also asked to let him know what time legs slapping class begins so he could take his game to the next level!
Orton even blasted a fan who claimed he heard that Backlash was not going to be good. It seems like someone was in a roasting mood that day.

If the damage hadn’t already been done Randy’s wife Kim also replied to Ciampa’s comment!
In her tweet, she called Ciampa “the guy who took credit for all the matches he DIDN’T put together.”
The Orton family had no chill in the Twitter feud. Orton may have a feud with Ciampa after his match against Edge.

We have no idea as to what’s next for Tommaso Ciampa. After this big defeat at Takeover, the Randy Orton feud seems like the perfect way to make it onto the main Roaster.
For now, we’re still trying to figure out who’s more lethal- “The Viper” or his wife Kim.
