Randy Orton Escapes Surprise Attack At Non-WWE Event
Sneaking up on Randy Orton is not easy.
The 14-time World Champion was present at a non-WWE event, where he prevented a potential attack by an internet celebrity.
Orton attended IShowSpeed’s Los Angeles premier of Speed Goes Pro with his wife, Kim Orton.
In a video shared online, the 45-year-old is seen chatting with Sheamus and Drew McIntyre, when Speed approaches him in attack position to hit the RKO.
Randy Orton then turns around, as they both hug it out, with the wrestler congratulating the latter on the release of his first episode of Speed Goes Pro on his YouTube channel featuring NFL legend Tom Brady.
Orton and Speed have shared a brief segment in the WWE, too, when during his WrestleMania 40 match against Logan Paul, he RKO’d Speed, who was dressed as Paul’s Prime mascot.
