Randy Orton & MGK’s Beef Gets Attention From WWE Internally

WWE has thrown together a lot of celebrity appearances in the history of the company. They have a celebrity wing in the WWE Hall of Fame for a reason. Now, it appears that Machine Gun Kelly is getting a bit of attention.

Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that Though he isn’t on the tour, Randy Orton’s social media interactions with MGK were a big point of discussion this week from those they spoke to.

In case you need a refresher, during the SummerSlam weekend, MGK accompanied Logan Paul to the ring and was involved in Paul’s match against LA Knight. Before the event at Cleveland Browns Stadium began, MGK crossed paths with Orton, recalling past criticisms Orton had made about him. On Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast, MGK shared how he felt hesitant at first, but ultimately chose to stand up for himself.

“I was in the ring, just coming to Logan to see what we could work out for the show. I saw Randy Orton. I remember seeing Randy Orton talk shit about me. There is a point where I was like, ‘I’m going to practice a new version of myself. Three…two…one. F*ck that. Ay man, f*ck you.’”

MGK noted that his friends were shocked by the confrontation, highlighting how people often misjudge him as the aggressor in such situations.

“All my boys were sitting there [stunned]. ‘Is this real? I don’t know what’s happening.’ The amount of people that pinned me as the aggressor in every situation I’m in are so wrong.”

Despite the tension, MGK stood by his actions, feeling he did what was right. Fortunately, the situation didn’t escalate, which was a relief for fans.

Machine Gun Kelly’s history with WWE is well-known, having provided the official theme song for WrestleMania XXVII and even being powerbombed by Kevin Owens. However, he had a tense encounter with Randy Orton backstage at SummerSlam, where he had some profane words for the WWE star.

We will keep an eye on this story for more information. Only time will tell if it escalates into a match down the line.
