In a recent appearance on Logan Paul's IMPAULSIVE podcast, rapper-turned-rocker Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) revealed that he had confronted professional wrestler Randy Orton following rumors that the WWE star was talking about him at SummerSlam. The incident took place during MGK's visit to the ring to greet Paul during the event, which was held in Cleveland, Ohio on Saturday, Aug. 3.
Recalling the encounter, MGK expressed his frustration, stating, "There's a point where I'm like, I'm gonna practice a new version of myself. Then three, two, one, I'm like, 'Fuck that. Hey man, fuck you.'" He also mentioned that his friends were unsure how to handle the situation, emphasizing that perceptions of him as an aggressor are completely off base.
Orton, however, had a different recollection of events and took to social media to respond. He tagged MGK in a tweet, accompanied by a lying face emoji, suggesting that the rapper's account may not align with reality.
Not one to back down, MGK fired back with two tweets directed at Orton. In one, he wrote, "you have my number, and you know why you have it btw but I won't even put you on blast for that. Check your texts." In another tweet, he insisted, "camera's were rolling tell WWE put that out," seeming to suggest that there is footage capturing the altercation.
The exact cause of the conflict between MGK and Orton remains unclear. However, as noted by Fightful, tensions between the two can be traced back to April when Orton referred to MGK as a "mark" on an Instagram post shared by his wife, Kim. The post featured a comparison between Orton's proposal to Kim and MGK's proposal to actress Megan Fox.
The ongoing exchange between MGK and Orton has caught the attention of fans and followers of both worlds—music and professional wrestling. With the involvement of high-profile personalities and the tantalizing prospect of behind-the-scenes drama, many are eagerly awaiting further developments in this unexpected feud.
As the dust settles, it remains to be seen whether MGK and Orton will find common ground or if their verbal sparring will continue to play out across social media platforms. For now, all eyes are on the rapper and the wrestler as the backstory behind their heated exchange continues to unravel.
