WWE Superstar Randy Orton has broken his silence regarding the allegations against the company’s former CEO, Vince McMahon.
Following the disturbing lawsuit filed by former WWE employee Janel Grant against McMahon, which accused him of sexual assault and sex trafficking, McMahon resigned from TKO Group Holdings.
Numerous WWE veterans and superstars have shared their thoughts on the matter. Before Orton’s injury in 2022, McMahon was somewhat involved with WWE in a creative capacity, but recent events have led to changes.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, The Viper was asked to share his honest thoughts on the ongoing lawsuit involving Vince McMahon.
Orton expressed his gratitude for McMahon’s influence on his career but also voiced disappointment over the reports of misconduct by McMahon and other WWE executives. Orton stated:
“I’ve got to say this–I wouldn’t be where I am without Vince McMahon taking a chance on me a handful of times. I would not be where I am today without Vince McMahon. But, f**k, I’m reading this sh*t. What you’ve seen and read, I’ve seen and read. As far as commenting on that, it f***ing hurts my heart. It hurts my heart.”
