Randy Orton Threatens to RKO Tom Brady After “WWE Is Cute” Remark

Tom Brady called WWE “cute”, and now Randy Orton wants to drop him with an RKO.

While Liv Morgan already fired back at Brady’s remark during her Going Ringside podcast appearance, the situation just escalated on February 23, 2026 when Orton addressed the comment directly on ESPN’s Get Up — and he didn’t sugarcoat it.

Brady’s original jab came during a recent Logan Paul podcast appearance, where he referred to pro wrestling as “cute.” That comment led to reactions across the wrestling world, with Morgan defending WWE’s athleticism and versatility. But Orton? He took it personally. Speaking on ESPN, Orton referenced the Logan Paul interview and made it clear he heard exactly what Brady said.

“I did see a recent podcast Logan Paul put out — he had Tom Brady on. Brady had a few things to say about pro wrestling. I think he called it ‘cute.’”

Orton admitted he’s never even met the seven-time Super Bowl champion — but that didn’t stop him from issuing what sounded like a playful, but pointed, warning.

“I’ve never met him, but I’d love to meet Tom and hit him with an RKO. He’s at the top of the list.”

While Liv Morgan responded by questioning whether NFL players could handle WWE’s physical demands, Orton went straight for the signature move. No debate. No back-and-forth about cross-sport athleticism. Just one RKO.

With Logan Paul and Brady already trading words ahead of their March 21 Fanatics Flag Football Classic matchup, Orton’s comments add another WWE voice to the mix — and one of the biggest names the company has.

Brady hasn’t responded to Orton as of this writing, but if this keeps escalating, the crossover talk might get even louder and we might get to see the Viper hit an RKO on Brady.

So now the question is simple: would you actually want to see Randy Orton hit Tom Brady with an RKO — even just once?
