There was a heated exchange that took the internet by storm earlier today. It was between Randy Orton and the popular rapper Machine Gun Kelly. MGK revealed that at SummerSlam in Cleveland, there was an intense situation backstage between him and The Viper. There was a lot of buzz around this news, and now a good friend of the Apex Predator has shown support for him.

The star in question is Kevin Owens. He took it to X to add fuel to the controversy. The Prizefighter posted a picture of himself and Randy Orton on one side and a picture of MGK and Logan Paul on the other. He wrote no caption. However, it was enough to stir up the pot and draw a lot of attention.

Moreover, fans quickly started rooting for a tag team match thereafter. It was a subtle tease towards the likely direction of this controversial feud. It seems the Prizefighter is not planning to hear anything about his friend, at least not from the likes of former rival Logan Paul and his guest MGK.

Furthermore, this feud is just getting started, as it seems. Randy Orton reacted to this a few hours ago. He claimed MGK was lying about any of the altercations backstage. However, the rapper responded by asking the Apex Predator to call him instead of making a fuss on the internet. Only time will tell where this feud will be going from here on.

Where this controversy between Randy Orton and Machine Gun Kelly might lead in the future?

Machine Gun Kelly shocked the WWE Universe when he claimed he abused The Viper backstage at SummerSlam. On the other hand, Orton has clearly denied and called it all a lie. Logan Paul, who is a part of the WWE, had no say in this mess. However, his longtime rival Kevin Owens jumped into the fray. This can all lead to one place if this is a setup laid by WWE itself.

As the fans have seen in the past, Impaulsive podcast and other related shows set up a lot of feuds in WWE. This can be the case here as well. It is very likely that WWE is setting up a feud between the four superstars for an upcoming PLE. Probably it is going to Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia in the course of a few months.

The Maverick can easily team up with his friend MGK to take on the renowned team of Orton and Owens. Kelly has already taken a bump in the company back in 2016. Therefore, it won’t be a tough call for him to take a few more. Interestingly, the Prizefighter was the man who threw him off the top of the stage in his last appearance in WWE before SummerSlam 2024.
