Tom Brady Called WWE “Cute” – Randy Orton Just Fired Back in the Best Way Possible
It isn’t every day you hear the G.O.A.T. of the NFL taking a playful jab at the world of sports entertainment. Recently, Tom Brady labeled WWE as “cute,” and fans immediately wondered how the locker room would react. Well, we just got the response from one of the most lethal legends to ever step inside the squared circle, and honestly, it’s a total masterclass in maturity.
Randy Orton, fresh off his incredible recovery and still dominating the ring, swung by The Pat McAfee Show to clear the air. And if you were expecting “The Viper” to strike back with venom, think again. The 14-time world champion took the high road, and the reasoning behind it actually makes the whole story even more compelling.
Orton explained that hearing Brady’s comment didn’t bother him in the slightest—but admitted that wouldn’t have been the case two decades ago. He reflected on his journey, pointing out that he’s just enjoying the ride now, especially after surviving serious injuries like a double spinal fusion.
“I’m just having fun at this stage of my career, man,” Orton shared. “Hearing him call it cute—like, I’m having fun. 10, 15, 20 years ago I would have been hot. I would have had choice words to say for Tom Brady.”
Instead of getting angry, Orton finds humor in the outrage it generates online. He admitted that he sometimes scrolls through comments and gets a kick out of how upset people get over what was likely just a lighthearted remark. But that doesn’t mean he’s letting the seven-time Super Bowl champion completely off the hook.
In true Randy Orton fashion, he left the door wide open for a physical invitation. With a smirk, he sent a message directly to Brady: if Tom wants to find out what an RKO feels like firsthand, all he has to do is call.
But the interview wasn’t just about Brady. Orton also opened up about the secret sauce to his legendary longevity in the business. While many veterans slow down, Orton seems to be aging like fine wine. He credits a major lifestyle overhaul for keeping him at the top of his game.
He admitted that early in his career, he was reckless and horrible to his body—doing things he definitely shouldn’t have been doing. But a reality check changed everything. Now, instead of just throwing himself around for the sake of it, every single move in the ring has a purpose.
