It’s no secret that Randy Orton is one of the most decorated Superstars in WWE history, but some fans — and even those closest to him — feel the company hasn’t been treating him like the legend he is. And now his wife, Kim Orton, is stepping up to call WWE out for what she sees as repeated disrespect.
A viral Instagram post recently laid out just how often WWE has left Orton out of major milestones and events, pointing to moments like RAW’s 25th Anniversary, SmackDown’s 25th Anniversary, the RAW Netflix debut, and even WrestlePalooza — all without the Viper.
“Well this ain’t first time Orton being left out of a major WWE event. Raw 25th Anniversary ❌ SmackDown 25th Anniversary ❌ Raw Netflix Premiere ❌ ESPN Premiere ❌ And few more… DISRESPECT AFTER DISRESPECT.”
The post didn’t go unnoticed by Kim Orton, who quickly jumped into the comments and backed the claims with a simple but powerful reply: “You ain’t wrong 🤷🏻♀️”

And she’s not alone in that thinking. WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair has also recently spoken out, stating that WWE isn’t using Orton to his full potential and deserves far more respect considering his legendary career.
Despite being a 14-time World Champion and future Hall of Famer himself, Orton’s absence from key WWE moments hasn’t gone unnoticed. Now, fans and family alike are starting to demand answers — and recognition.
