00:00Randy Orton has backstage heat, WWE nearly kill one wrestler's career, disputes over

00:06a major WWE change and more.

00:10I'm Oli Davis, and this is the WrestleTalk News.

00:17Randy Orton's grown a lot in the last few years.

00:20Just look at him physically.

00:21He looks as though Randy Orton ate Randy Orton as a protein supplement.

00:24But he's also grown as a man.

00:27There used to be rumours of him dumping pranks in people's bags, hazing new writers and

00:32having multiple wellness policy suspensions.

00:35Yet in recent years, he's repaired his relationship with the returning CM Punk, has admitted he

00:39used to do dumb s-word behind the scenes, and generally seems very demure, very mindful.

00:46So it's odd to see him get dragged into a story of backstage heat in 2024, implying

00:51what I'm about to tell you could be a good old fashioned Worky McWorkface.

00:56At SummerSlam earlier this month, Logan Paul was accompanied down to the ring by his fellow

01:00Cleveland native, the rapper Machine Gun Kelly.

01:03Now appearing on Logan's implausive podcast, Kelly claims he had a verbal altercation with

01:08Orton before the show began.

01:10I was in the ring, just coming to Logan to see what we could work out for the show.

01:14I saw Randy Orton.

01:15I remember seeing Randy Orton talk s-word about me.

01:18There was a point where I was like, I'm going to practice a new version of myself.

01:22Three, two, one, f-ck that.

01:25Hey man, f-ck you.

01:27All my boys were sitting there stunned.

01:29Is this real?

01:30I don't know what's happening.

01:31The amount of people that pinned me as the aggressor in every situation I'm in are

01:36so wrong.

01:37Randy Orton replied to Kelly's podcast comments by tagging him with a PINOCCHIO NOSE EMOJI,

01:42insinuating he's a liar liar pants on fire.

01:45To which Kelly replied, You have my number and you know why you have

01:48it by the way, but I won't even put you on blast for that.

01:51Check your texts.

01:52PINOCCHIO EMOJI right back.

01:55Cameras were rolling.

01:56Tell WWE to put that out.

01:58SHRUGGIE EMOJI.

02:00Detective Eyeglass Emoji.

02:01PINOCCHIO EMOJI again.

02:03Orton's recent tag partner Kevin Owens provided backup, posting a picture of him and Orton

02:08together and another of Paul and Kelly side by side.

02:11Implying some kind of tag team match, players.

02:13Owens has his own history with Kelly, where he powerbombed him off the stage on a 2015

02:17episode of Raw.

02:18Orton and Owens vs Logan Paul and Machine Gun Kelly at the next Saudi show confirmed.

02:22In one mark in the shoot column, though, this isn't the first time Orton has had a public

02:27spat with a rapper.

02:29Back in 2021, Soulja Boy had called pro wrestling fake, which prompted a lengthy back and forth

02:34debate with Orton, which included this post.

02:37Fake, right Soulja Boy?

02:39By the way, which one of yo babies' mamas do I send the bill to for making you relevant

02:43again?

02:44I assume they all own your ass.

02:45So who's cutting those checks?

02:47With photos of Drew McIntyre and Sheamus' scars from a match on Raw, and, more famously,

02:52this RKO from out of Twitter.

02:54My dick taller than you.

02:56Weighs more too.

02:57Go to bed, you f***ing infant.

02:59You're welcome for the boost.

03:01Go choke on a keyboard.

03:02Do you think Orton and Kelly really have backstage heat?

03:05Let me know in the comments, because I'll be replying to people FROM OUTTA NOWHERE.

03:09Which actually fits this time, because this is about Randy Orton.

03:12In the BP era of WWE, before Paul, any number of things can potentially kill your career.

03:19Backstage heat with rappers, sneezing in front of the wrong person and, worst of all, having

03:24your name changed.

03:25After a successful run in NXT, Vince McMahon debuted Pete Dunne in March 2022 with the

03:30new name Butch.

03:33He would portray a Scrappy-Doo style fighting character worse only in name than Shorty G.

03:38Now wrestling as Pete Dunne again, he beat Xavier Woods and The Miz on Monday's Raw.

03:43Dunne will now wrestle in a four way match on the 9th, with the winner becoming the number

03:46one contender to Brom Breaker's Intercontinental Championship.

03:49At the same time, though, Dunne is feuding with his former Brawling Brutes leader Sheamus,

03:54who keeps calling him by his old Butch name.

03:57Following his win on Raw, Butch, I mean Dunne, revealed how bad that name was for him in

04:01a promo on YouTube.

04:03For Sheamus, that scum man, to turn around and still call me Butch, to have a laugh at

04:08something that nearly killed my career.

04:11When I win that tournament and I have my hand lifted in the air, you can all call me something

04:15I approve of.

04:17Champion.

04:18Injuries are another way to derail your career, and it's been revealed that was the reason

04:22Bo Dallas disappeared from WWE for five years, before his recent return as part of the Wyatt

04:29Six.

04:30His match on Monday's Raw wasn't just the in-ring debut of his Uncle Howdy character,

04:34it was his first full match in five years.

04:38And his father Mike Rotunda has written on Instagram explaining what happened during

04:43that time.

04:44Taylor actually broke his neck in October of 2019.

04:47He came home to heal, then COVID hit.

04:50Then he got in the best shape of his entire life, and then he was released in 2021.

04:56Another good way to get buried in WWE is good old fashioned politics.

05:00Swerve Strickland signed a new AEW deal on Sunday, said to be one of the biggest in the

05:04company, and then main evented their biggest show of the year, All In, at Wembley Stadium

05:09in one of the most emotional matches ever against Bryan Danielson.

05:12It's a long way from where he was in WWE from 2019 to 2021.

05:17His Hit Row faction was drafted to the main roster in October 2021, and were bafflingly

05:21released the next month.

05:23Now in an interview with the Rich Eisen Show, Strickland has hinted towards what prevented

05:27him from having success in WWE.

05:31Political moves.

05:32Just political moves, I can say.

05:34There are conflicting reports over whether a major change is coming to the way WWE run

05:39their talent system.

05:40Ahead of this Sunday's NXT No Mercy Premium Live event, WrestleVotes posted the following

05:45report.

05:46According to a source, there was an all-employee meeting today at WWE HQ in Stanford hosted

05:51by Mark Shapiro.

05:52I'm told the biggest news to come out of the meeting is that the WWE Performance Center

05:57will be moving to Las Vegas in the near future.

06:00The Wrestling Observer seemingly backed this up, posting that a new Las Vegas developmental

06:04location could be replacing the Orlando Performance Center, or could just be an additional venue.

06:10This is a huge upheaval, as the Performance Center has been in Orlando, Florida, training

06:15and developing wrestlers since it was first built in 2013.

06:18It's also where NXT hosts their weekly TV.

06:21It's yet another move in bringing the WWE and UFC closer together under their shared

06:26TKO ownership, as Las Vegas is also where the UFC's training facilities are placed.

06:31Earlier this year, NXT even hosted their Battleground event at the UFC Apex venue in Las Vegas.

06:37But following that first report, Fightful Selectors reported Shapiro did not make such

06:43an announcement, and was merely making a point that Vegas is a destination, and that having

06:47a presence there is on the table.

06:50The Wrestling Observer double-checked with their sources, and claimed WWE is denying

06:54the story, and said Shapiro talked about growth of Vegas and headquarters there at some point,

06:59but not moving soon, and no definite plan.

07:02WrestleVotes, however, stuck to their original report, following up with…

07:06I've reached back out to the source after the follow-up from Sean Ross Sapp.

07:09They are still confident in our initial report about Vegas.

07:12I'm told also this is not an overnight thing, and could take some time.

07:17So in the end, time will tell.

07:20Wrestling legend Sid Vicious sadly died on the 25th August, and now his son Gunner has

07:24provided more details on his father's passing.

07:27He was known as Psycho Sid Vicious to the world, but to our family, he was simply Poppa,

07:32the beloved grandfather.

07:34Sid was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2016, and actual fibrillation, better known

07:39as AFib, around the same time.

07:41He was also given a pacemaker.

07:43In April 2021, he was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which was linked

07:48to Roundup Weed Killer.

07:49Although he never told anyone about his fight against cancer, Sid lived his life to the

07:54fullest, attending the gym, boxing classes, making appearances for his fans, and, of course,

08:00t-ball games for the kids.

08:02He passed away peacefully in his bed, leaving behind a legacy of strength and determination.

08:07I've never met anyone with a fraction of the strength as my father.

08:10He truly was one of a kind.

08:13Thanks everyone for the uplifting words and love.

08:15We definitely feel it.

08:16We have received thousands of messages and are grateful for every one of them.

08:20I don't have time to reply, but I have read them all.

08:26Thank you."

08:27Showing what a generous soul Sid was behind the Psycho character, Booker T has shared

08:31a story about how it was Vicious who got him and his brother Stevie Ray their breaks in

08:35at WCW, where he even let them stay at his apartment while they were finding their feet.

08:40It was the anniversary of another wrestling legend's passing over the weekend, Bray

08:44Wyatt.

08:45Remember his legacy by watching our Tortured Genius of Bray Wyatt video essay now.

08:50Here's a clip.

08:52Across multiple characters, Bray told us that he was this charismatic cult leader, an unstoppable

08:57monster, a sympathetic but unhinged victim of some past trauma, and audiences bought

09:03into that, despite the booking, despite the maggots, despite the vast amounts of mystery

09:09in a medium that thrives on the obvious.

09:12Bray swept us up in the palm of his hands, and even now we are still following the breadcrumb

09:16trail and finding out how deep the rabbit hole can go.

09:20This is the legacy of Bray Wyatt.
