Kurt Angle and Randy Orton have given the WWE Universe some crazy entertaining matches. However, out of all the matches they’ve had, both of them have a particular match which tops the list.

Randy Orton revealed that their match at One Night Stand ECW is his favourite. Not only did he enjoy being in the ring with Kurt Angle but also enjoyed the energy and vibe coming from the fans.

“I think it was the one where the fans had the infamous sign. You know, Cena wins, we riot. I do get the name of that pay-per-view but it was an ECW pay-per-view, I remember I had just come back from suspension and I was little worried about my conditioning because I was doing in the ring with Kurt Angle. I remember that crowd being crazy and having a good time. Having fun with the crowd. They were riled up to say the least. That always makes for a good atmosphere.”

Currently, ‘The Viper’ is working alongside Matt Riddle in a tag team match. This unusual pairing has received huge support from the WWE Universe. In fact, everyone is of the opinion that this pair will move up the roster at a sped up rate.

Prior to this, Randy Orton was working in a storyline with Alexa Bliss and The Fiend. The real feud started when Orton lit Fiend on fire at The Inferno Match. Following this, Alexa Bliss started taunting Orton and continued to claim that The Fiend is returning.

The Fiend returned at Fastlane 2021, helped Bliss defeat Orton, and then challenged him for WrestleMania 37.
