Randy Orton was close to fainting during WrestleMania 33 according to his wife Kim.
At the show, Orton defeated then-WWE Champion Bray Wyatt to win the title in the seventh match on the main card.
Speaking on the Wives of Wrestling podcast, Kim told her co-host Giovanna Angle (wife of Kurt) that the Viper nearly didn’t make it to the ring:
“I was just gonna say something about Randy’s entrance at that same WrestleMania. He was walking down the ramp and he got so fired up that he got lightheaded. Yeah, but he got so fired up and like, held his breath as he was getting fired up, and he stops, and he puts his like hands down and he was like [discombobulated]. That motherf*cker almost passed out. He walks so slow as it is that it took him five minutes to get down there.”
Orton remained WWE Champion until May when he lost the title to Jinder Mahal.
He and Riddle will defend the RAW Tag Team Championships this year against the Street Profits and Alpha Academy.
