Logan Paul didn’t let Randy Orton’s gym trash talk stay private for long — and now he’s turning it into content.

After Orton quietly roasted him in Instagram DMs over the weekend, Paul took things public on X with a post that instantly got wrestling fans talking. The YouTuber-turned-WWE star shared a mirror selfie from the gym and summed up Orton’s message in one blunt line, “Randy Orton said I skip leg day.”

The tweet came after Paul revealed that Orton had messaged him directly for the first time since April 2024, poking fun at his physique following a gym photo taken in Düsseldorf, Germany during WWE’s ongoing European tour. In the private message, Orton didn’t waste words, “Skipping leg day again I see.”

Paul posted a screenshot of the exchange to his Instagram Story with a stunned reaction, tagging Orton and writing “wtf,” before later uploading another photo from a leg workout that he jokingly dedicated to “The Viper.”

Paul and Orton have a long recent history in WWE, including their WrestleMania 40 United States Title match, Orton eliminating Paul from the Elimination Chamber in early 2024, and their most recent in-ring encounter at SummerSlam 2025, where Paul teamed with Drew McIntyre against Orton and Jelly Roll.

Now, with one tweet, Paul has turned a private jab into a public flex — and a reminder that even legends like Orton are still watching closely
