Randy Orton revealed that he texted Rey and Dom that night. He stated that it was an incredible moment to witness, as Dominik has been around since he was a little kid, and now he was disregarding his father.

I remember that night [he turned on Rey], I texted Rey and Dom that night, I wanna say he either clotheslined his father or kicked him in the nuts, but Rey is such a loveable guy, and for him, we all grew up 20 years ago, fans saw Dominik on television, he was involved in storylines, so everyone saw this cute little kid, and now here he is disrespecting his father who we adore. Yeah, boo!
