Randy Orton trolls Logan Paul in a playful exchange that caught fans’ attention just days before their WWE United States Championship clash at WrestleMania 40. The back-and-forth, centered on Orton’s quip about Paul allegedly avoiding leg workouts, highlights the lively banter between WWE superstars ahead of big matches.
Playful Rivalry Heats Up Before the Championship Match
Randy Orton, also called The Viper, is well-known for engaging fans both inside and outside the wrestling ring. His recent online jab targeted Logan Paul, The Maverick, after Paul posted a workout photo with fellow wrestler Austin Theory on April 1, 2024. Orton responded on social media, fueling a lighthearted rivalry with his comment:
“Skipping leg day again I see”
This playful dig landed less than a week before Logan Paul stepped into the ring at WrestleMania 40 to defend the WWE United States Championship against both Orton and Kevin Owens. The teasing did not go unnoticed, as it quickly stirred conversation among fans and set the stage for their upcoming showdown.
Logan Paul Responds to Orton’s Challenge
Months after Orton’s crack, Logan Paul decided to address the friendly mockery. He returned to social media, sharing another gym picture emphasizing his legs. Alongside the photo, he referenced Orton’s earlier comment, turning the spotlight back on the exchange:
“Randy Orton said I skip leg day”

The Maverick’s reply added fuel to the ongoing banter, letting fans see another side of the competitors’ interactions outside of official WWE storylines. Whether this exchange is pure entertainment or foreshadows another in-ring confrontation remains to be seen.
Orton Sets Sights on Undisputed WWE Championship
Following his recent return to WWE events, Orton made his intentions clear: he is determined to become the Undisputed WWE Champion. Before the much-anticipated Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre title bout, Orton openly stated that he would pursue whoever emerged as champion. Although he indicated a preference for challenging Cody Rhodes, hoping for Rhodes to win, destiny set its own course.
Significance of the Ongoing Banter
This exchange between Randy Orton and Logan Paul underscores the blend of athletic competition and entertainment that defines WWE. Orton, ever the showman, uses trolling not just to hype matches, but also to guide fan expectations and spice up rivalries. Meanwhile, Logan Paul’s responses show his readiness to meet such challenges, maintaining buzz among WWE’s devoted followers. As speculation grows over whether these exchanges will translate into future matchups, the playful feud keeps the spotlight on both competitors and the broader WWE universe.
