Randy Orton has been in the WWE for over two decades. In the course of 20 years, he met and worked with a lot of superstars who were standouts in the industry. Therefore, Orton has had a history of having differences of opinion with other superstars over the years. One such superstar that the Viper had a problem with was former WWE Champion Dean Ambrose, a.k.a. Jon Moxley.

While talking on the Pat McAfee show, Randy Orton talked about his experience with Ambrose. He said that it took him some time to understand the Lunatic Fringe and that he finally understood that he was just a “fu**ing weirdo.” However, Randy said that this is a good way, as he added that everyone in the WWE locker room is a weirdo, and that’s what helps to thrive in the industry.

Later, knowing and working with Dean, Orton revealed that he understood Ambrose’s mentality and started being less of a judgmental bully to him. As Orton has now reached veteran status, his personality has changed compared to how it was a decade ago. According to him, he now does not judge people on any basis and is open to sharing his knowledge with everyone.

After working in WWE for over six years, Dean Ambrose decided to leave the company over creative frustrations. He soon debuted in AEW as Jon Moxley and has been the top star there. In his recent interviews, Moxley has shown his satisfaction working for AEW and does not plan on leaving the company anytime soon.
