Backstage brawl gives the hottest WWE event of the year an unexpected twist
MGK, who accompanied Logan Paul to the ring at the event for his fight against LA Knight, revealed on the Impaulsive podcast that he had met Orton before the show. The meeting sparked a tense exchange in which MGK recalled previous criticisms Orton had leveled at him.
He said: “I was in the ring and I just came to Logan to see what we could work out for the show. I saw Randy Orton. I remember seeing Randy Orton talk shit about myself. There was a point where I was like, “I’m going to practice a new version of myself. Three… two… one. Fuck it. Man, f*** you.”
The confrontation, which took place in the presence of MGK’s friends, surprised them. The musician noted that people often mistakenly perceive him as the aggressor in such situations.
“All my guys were sitting there (stunned). ‘Is this real? I don’t know what’s going on.’ The many people who label me as an aggressor in every situation are so wrong.”
Despite the heated exchange, the situation did not escalate further and fans are relieved that the incident remained under control. MGK’s decision to confront Orton, while risky, ultimately showed his willingness to stand up for himself and his beliefs. The incident also highlighted the sometimes explosive nature of the backstage world of professional wrestling, where even seemingly minor confrontations can have significant consequences.
As fans continue to speculate about the potential ramifications of the altercation, MGK’s candid report offers insight into the challenges and complexities of the entertainment industry.
