Music artist Machine Gun Kelly and WWE superstar Randy Orton have been involved in a back-and-forth exchange of insults on podcasts and social media this week. The feud escalated when MGK claimed on the “IMPAULSIVE with Logan Paul” podcast that he confronted Orton backstage at WWE SummerSlam 2024 about comments Orton made earlier in the year, referring to him as a “mark.”
During the episode, MGK recounted the incident of encountering Orton in the ring at SummerSlam while speaking to Logan Paul, where he decided to address the issue directly. Feeling that he needed to stand up for himself, MGK confronted Orton face to face, expressing his frustrations by using explicit language.
The feud between the two celebrities spilled over onto their social media platforms, most notably on Twitter. Orton posted an emoji indicating deceit, prompting a response from MGK. MGK brought attention to the fact that Orton had his number and implied that there were reasons behind it that he could expose but chose not to. Another tweet from MGK hinted at how displeased people tend to get when confronted with the truth.
The root of their conflict purportedly dates back to a post by Orton on Instagram in April, where he referred to MGK as a “mark” in response to a comparison made between Orton and MGK’s marriage proposals. The similarities between their proposals sparked the initial controversy, leading to the ongoing feud between the two celebrities.
