Randy Orton, once known as "The Legend Killer," has transformed into a living legend in WWE. While his reputation has evolved, the nickname still follows him, and Orton has embraced it, especially in recent years. One wrestling legend, however, claims that Orton hasn’t added him to the list of legends he's "killed."
Diamond Dallas Page on Randy Orton
The Hall of Famer in question is Diamond Dallas Page (DDP), who, despite Orton’s impressive achievements and 14-time World Championship reigns, believes that Orton is still somewhat underrated. DDP even suggests that Orton could easily be considered for a spot on the Mount Rushmore of professional wrestling athletes. During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, DDP expressed his admiration for Orton while adding a humorous twist to their connection.
"I want to take [the RKO] so bad. I had this vision of the [Royal] Rumble, right? And if it comes down to—here comes Randy, and he freaking goes for it, and I get out of it. Then I go for [the Diamond Cutter], and he gets out of it. And then it turns into, of course, the RKO," DDP said, laughing. He continued, adding, "The Legend Killer, but haven't killed me yet."
A Shared Finisher: The Diamond Cutter and the RKO
Both Orton and Page share a similar finishing move: a modified cutter. DDP reflected on their shared wrestling trait, noting that Orton's RKO is a move he deeply appreciates, even suggesting a potential dream scenario in the ring. Despite these thoughts, DDP clarified that he would not return to the ring to participate in such a sequence. He has no intention of stepping back into the squared circle.
Randy Orton's Potential Return
Fans of Randy Orton are still waiting for his return to action. His last appearance on WWE television came on the November 8th episode of SmackDown, where Orton was hit with a Piledriver – a move banned in WWE – by Kevin Owens. Orton was immediately rushed from the ring on a stretcher.
Though the exact severity of Orton's injury remains unclear, many believe it is part of the ongoing storyline. Speculation about Orton’s return is growing, especially with major matches on the horizon. At the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event, Owens will face Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship, and Orton’s involvement could be crucial. The possibility of The Legend Killer making a comeback to thwart Owens and aid Rhodes remains an exciting prospect for WWE fans.
In conclusion, while DDP may never be added to Orton's list of victims, the two legends share mutual respect for each other, and the thought of a memorable in-ring moment between them continues to spark the imagination of wrestling fans.
