Kim Orton, wife of WWE superstar Randy Orton, has publicly endorsed a social media post accusing the company of disrespecting the 14-time world champion. Her response appeared in the comments section of an Instagram post highlighting Orton’s recent absences from major WWE events.
The post listed several key broadcasts Orton was excluded from, including the 25th-anniversary specials for both Raw and SmackDown. It also noted his absence from the Raw premiere on Netflix and WWE’s ESPN debut, Wrestlepalooza. In response to the post’s claim of “DISRESPECT AFTER DISRESPECT,” Kim Orton commented, “You ain’t wrong 🤷🏻♀️.”
Her sentiment echoed remarks from WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, who recently stated the company was “underutilizing” The Legend Killer. Flair speculated that Orton’s current booking might stem from having made someone “mad” backstage.
The criticism of Orton’s role comes despite his continued presence on weekly television. He has been featured in an ongoing storyline with Drew McIntyre on SmackDown throughout September 2025.
Orton’s most recent major event match was at Night of Champions on June 28, 2025, where he lost to Cody Rhodes in the King of the Ring finals. He also competed at Backlash on May 10, 2025, in a losing effort against John Cena.
