ByBishal RoyProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Randy Orton recently called out former WWE star Ted DiBiase Jr. during WrestleMania 42 weekend.

During an interview with The Schmo, ‘The Viper’ claimed his former Legacy teammate owes him a whopping sum of $25,000.

DiBiase Jr. attended WrestleMania 42 in one of his first major public sightings after being cleared in his federal case. When asked about his former Legacy teammate, Orton didn’t hold back.

Ted owes me 25 grand. Clip this sh**, put it out there—maybe he’ll hear it and pay me,” Orton stated.

The timing of the comment adds another layer to DiBiase Jr.’s WrestleMania 42 appearance. After years away from the spotlight, his return to a major WWE event was already generating attention before Orton’s remark turned it into a bigger talking point.
