This segment was actually a call-back from an old Roddy Piper promo from 1984. He was feuding with “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka at the time and pulled out a letter to read from a “fan.” It turns out the letter was from Snuka’s kid and it included some key parts that Orton’s did over 30 years later.

You can check out the promo from Piper below. It is a great blast from the past and reminds us how some legendary segments only get better with time.
