The WWE legend is currently involved in a feud with rap star Soulja Boy, who called rap faker than WWE

Recently, Randy Orton went on a Twitter tirade after rapper Soulja Boy called WWE “fake” on Twitter. On Sunday, February 28, Soulja Boy tweeted, “Rap game faker than WWE.” First T-BAR responded angrily to the 30-year-old’s tweet, saying: “Does the rap game take years off your life and leave you with countless injuries and debilitating pain? Oh well maybe just stick to super soaking hoes or whatever it is you did 15 years ago.”

Though T-BAR stopped after this response, Orton noticed it and went off on a rant. “Fake? Dare this prick to step up. He dont like movies? Consider us actors that do stunts, without pads 200 days a year and don’t bitch when we get surgically repaired and come right back. Consider us 100 times tougher then anyone you’ve come across. Aint nuthin but a bitch ass…” his first tweet posted on Monday night, March 1, read. The former WWE legend did not stop there as he wrote, “Crank that’ came out in ’07 you had a hell of a year. Serious $. Hats off to ya my dude. Here’s the thing tho… I like rap. I bump that s**t all day whether it’s tunechi, meek, JZ…but you call what I do to survive, fake? F**k that. Come to my world and say that. Dare ya”, after Boy said, “Do u know who the f**k I am. I’ll bring the REAL to wrestling don’t play with me. Randy Ortonnnnnnnn??????????”

Things took an ugly turn when the ‘Kiss me thru the phone’ singer said, “If you mad because I spit facts just say that. What you do is FAKE and I stand on that. What I do is REAL. Come to your world? Lol welcome to Soulja World.” In response, Orton aggressively stated, “U spittin facts? Seems like all you spittin is the same mess you rap about. Nut. Clear your throat my dawg, and be there. Enough talk. Back it up.”

Twitter was full of talks about Orton’s anger with one user even saying, “Randy orton woke up PISSED.” Another one added, “Its 3 am in the morning and I'm witnessing a beef between Randy Orton and Soulja Boy unfold.” However, that’s not always the case with the 40-year-old wrestler. He may look always angry inside the ring and this time on social media, but Orton possesses a colorful character too. After gaining fame as a third-generation Superstar in WWE in the early 2000s, he married his first wife Samantha Speno in 2007. The two remained with each other up until 2013 and had a daughter together, but after their divorce, Orton met Kim Marie Kessler and instantly hit it off with her. The pair exchanged vows in 2015 and became one of the cutest couples of the WWE Universe.

Who is Kim Marie Kessler?

Kessler is a socialite who was born and raised in New York. She is best known as the second wife of Orton. Though Kessler is not directly involved in the entertainment industry, she often goes along with her husband to several shows and events. Reports have said before marrying the actor, she was a die-hard fan of his. In one of her interviews she even said, “In my brain, way before I met Randy, he was my boyfriend. Therefore he was all over my house already way before I met him.”

The duo first met at a WWE event in New York, and it was Orton who approached Kessler. They started dating in 2012 amidst Orton’s divorce bid with his first wife. However, after their relationship was confirmed, Kessler was called a 'gold digger' on social media. Not just that, a social media user named Kayla Gomez went on to stalk and harass her. However, Kessler and Orton then teamed up to call the harasser out as ‘Ms. Piggy” on social media.

Before meeting Orton, Kessler was also married to someone else, though she likes to keep the details of that relationship under wraps. She has three kids from the previous marriage. After tying knot with the ‘WWE Raw’ star in November 2015, the pair welcomed their first baby girl on 25 November 2016. They named her Brooklyn Rose Orton.

Before marrying Orton, Kessler was just an ordinary fan of his, however, now she is living like a queen, whose husband’s estimated net worth is $15.5 million, according to a 2018 report. The star’s wife is active both on Twitter and Instagram. Most of her pictures on Instagram are with her husband. One of the pictures showed Orton kissing her on her forehead as she captioned it, “The love off my life he always there when I need him.”
