Randy Orton suffered the wrath of Kevin Owens last week after he was hospitalized following a brutal assault. The Prizefighter went a little too far when he used the devastating ‘Piledriver’ to dismantle The Viper. Given the fact that the wicked move is banned by WWE, Hall of Famer Mark Henry proposed the idea of imposing a hefty fine to prevent wrestlers from using such moves.
Speaking on the Busted Open Radio, Henry discussed the horrifying angle between Owens and Orton. The 53-year-old praised WWE for making ‘Piledriver’ look so devastating on television after a long time. He added that in order to keep the legitimacy of such a brutal move, WWE should impose a fine whenever it is used.
I think that they should say, if you do it, it’s gonna be a $50,000 fine. – I don’t wanna see the Piledriver become, again, like a DDT or a Superkick.

The former World Champion highlighted how moves like ‘Superkick’ and ‘DDT’ were once considered career-threatening. However, their overuse shattered their reputation, making them look like any other wrestling move. Therefore, WWE should make sure that ‘Piledriver’ remains one of the most catastrophic moves in professional wrestling by preventing its overuse.

Additionally, WWE has successfully managed to sell the ‘Piledriver’ to a great extent. In fact, Orton and Owens did an incredible job to make the effects look legit. Moreover, WWE earlier this week revealed that The Apex Predator has suffered a Cervical Cord Neurapraxia and is expected to be out for a significant time.
Matt Riddle reveals when Randy Orton can lose his cool
Randy Orton is one of the most vicious WWE stars of all time. He has been a wicked villain in the company, being the main culprit behind some of the most wild moments. Recently, Matt Riddle, his former tag team partner, revealed when The Viper is most likely to become unhinged off-screen as well.
Speaking on Barstool Rasslin’, Riddle claimed that Orton is always grumpy at the airport. Therefore, if a fan asks him for a picture at the airport, he loses his cool. He shared a few incidents where fans agitated the veteran by bumping into him early in the morning to ask for a picture before a flight.
He’s pretty cool man. He’s a good guy. I’ll say this. If you ask him for a picture in the airport, not gonna be that cool.

The Legend Killer is most likely to unleash his heel side in WWE sooner than later. He is expected to make his return to the company in a few weeks to seek vengeance on Kevin Owens. Fans have been clamoring for Orton to turn into a villain once again ahead of WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas.
