Randy Orton and rapper/singer Machine Gun Kelly recently went at each other on X (FKA Twitter) after the latter claimed that The Viper spoke badly about him at WWE SummerSlam. The WWE Universe is now wondering if there is a real feud between the two or if the whole thing is just a publicity stunt.
MGK made his presence felt at SummerSlam, supporting Logan Paul in his match against LA Knight. The Grammy-nominated musician even physically interfered in the match to help Paul retain the US Title, but to no avail.
In a recent episode of Logan Paul’s podcast “Impaulsive,” MGK revealed that an altercation broke out between him and Randy Orton when the singer entered the ring to watch Logan Paul prepare for his fight at Cleaveland Browns Stadium.
On Impaulsive he said: “I saw Randy Orton. I remember Randy Orton talking shit about me. At some point I was like, ‘I’m going to practice being a new version of myself. Three, two, one. Fuck it. Man, fuck you.'”
After Orton caught wind of MGK’s revelation, he refuted the rapper’s claims on X by tweeting a lying face emoji, suggesting that MGK was simply lying.
MGK then countered, suggesting that their confrontation may have been recorded since the cameras were rolling at the time. Furthermore, the 34-year-old artist called on the promotion to release the footage. Furthermore, in a follow-up tweet, MGK addressed Orton directly, tweeting that Orton had his number for an unknown reason that he didn’t want to “blow out the air,” suggesting that he might spill the beans on the WWE legend.
Following the exchange, WWE star Xavier Woods refuted MGK’s claims on social media, with Woods stating that Randy Orton would never allow anyone to curse at him to his face.
From the looks of things, the tension between Randy Orton and MGK is real. The Viper used to be known as a hothead, but today he is a completely different person.
For MGK, this wasn’t the first time he was involved in a conflict. The rapper also had a heated argument with UFC star Sean Strickland. Not to mention his legendary rap feud with Eminem. MGK was also part of a WWE segment in 2015 where Kevin Owens powerbombed him off the stage.
