As reported in our latest Rumor Roundup, rapper, singer, Kevin Owens’ powerbomb victim and WWE SummerSlam Guest star Machine Gun Kelly recently told his buddy Logan Paul about a conversation he had with Randy Orton at the biggest party of the summer. Here is a full transcript of what MGK said on Impulsive:
“When I was in the ring (at SummerSlam) I just wanted to tell Logan what was going on and see what we could work out for the show. Then I saw Randy Orton, and I remember Randy Orton talking bad about me. And I thought, there’s a point where I’m going to develop a new version of myself. And then, three, two, one, I thought, fuck it, “Aye, man, fuck you.”
“Yes (that really happened). I don’t know where you were, but I remember all my guys sitting there thinking, ‘Is this real? Is this part of the script? I don’t know what’s happening here.’ The amount of people who label me as an aggressor in every situation I’m in are so wrong. I don’t do anything but dedicate myself to art, and there’s another funny factor. Just the art that I stand in or exist in makes people mad.”
Last night (August 27), Orton responded to MGK’s story with a two-emoji post on X/Twitter, essentially calling Kelly a liar:
But MGK responded that the exchange with Randy was entirely videotaped, and implied that the Viper had his phone number for some secret/possibly shady reason?
The cameras were rolling, tell WWE, get this out ♂️

What in the world of sports and entertainment is going on here? It could be a fight between professional wrestlers and celebrity guests coming to light. Or we could see MGK vs. Orton at WrestleMania 41. Maybe it’s both, since the shoot has become a job?
Stay tuned.
