Randy Orton has entertained WWE fans all over the world like no one can ever in sports and entertainment, not just wrestling.

[tinotica]

The fact that the crowd pops when the ref calls the DQ is hilarious!!!!

[deadeyemode]

Both Cena and Orton are trying so hard not to laugh 😂

[Uchihaopbrian]

Randy's face is pure troll energy 😂

[skylar]

Them both actively trying not to break out laughing is just too good lol.

Cena Slaps the ref to retain at backlash 2025

[RandyDP]

I miss Randy, hope he comes back soon

0:34 Cena better have this exact same smile on his face complete with tongue under his bottom lip after slapping the ref at Backlash '25.

Randy Orton is one of the few heel wrestlers who I actually believe is just being himself with the volume turned way up. The man was a legitimate heel both in and out of the ring, with a conceited, entitled attitude and serious anger issues.

The only others that played the part as naturally were Shawn, Triple H and Edge. With the exception of Shawn, that’s arguably the three best heels in WWE history.

If CENA doesn't do this on Backlash, We Riot!

[State.of.Emergency]

One of the smartest champion retain heel moments of all time

[spideyezxth]

Randy Orton vs John Cena were one of my favorite rivalries of all time

[robhoward]

The way they both tried to hold in they're laughs made it funnier 😂😂😂

[locater]

Randy Orton is himself in WWE, that's why the fans adore him so much, who he is at home is exactly who he is in the ring, that's why he laughs, talks freely and says what he wants lol

[RockApe_]

It’s crazy how going bald and getting sleeves could make someone 10x more menacing

[CharlesHitmanStone]

The Crowd Clapping after Randy Slaps Mike is hysterical

[tylando]

0:13 Orton is like “What are you???” “Ah screw this I’m done!”

[EmppuPemppuBabe]

That smile on Randy "yeeeaaah..." 😆

[BabaThanos]

This was so funny man 😂😂🤣. When I was watching this match i couldn't stop laughing 😂😂

[alevazquez]

I am really looking forward to seeing this again at backlash 2025 match.
