Fans have mixed reactions to the segment between Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels
It seemed like Shawn Michaels was in his own world as he was using his phone. He probably did not recognize Orton who was standing near to him. However, Shawn stood for a second and moved ahead as if to say he did recognize but ignored the 14-time world champion.
The segment has gone viral on X, Instagram, and other social media platforms. The fans have mixed opinions about the sequence. While many felt Shawn did it intentionally, some felt it was not a part of the script. While Randy's fans were not too happy with Michaels, the latter's fans cared the least.
Some of the users online felt Randy could deliver an RKO to Shawn. The last few months of Orton have not been great. He has been fighting the Bloodline without making any gain. Even at the WWE Bash in Berlin, he lost to Gunther. The star wrestler would be badly looking to win some matches ahead of the big 2025 season.
