RANDY ORTON- WWE SMACKDOWN 4/12/25

[could-they-be-a-pro-wrestler]

Wrestling lore is really funny to explain to non-wrestling people, mainly because you have to suspend your disbelief much more than you would do for stuff like anime or superhero fiction. Think of it like this; it’s normal for a shonen anime protagonist or a superhero to demonstrate they have superpowers usually because it’s established early on. That also goes for other parts of the lore, such as the world-building, the MacGuffins, and the history of that world.

But in wrestling, characters and storylines change all the time and are ongoing (I’ve seen the term “longform storytelling” used). So you end up with HUGE leaps in logic, such as:

1) There’s a supernatural being from hell who temporarily became a biker gang member, and then went back to being a supernatural being from hell

2) There’s a male model who gave out grooming tips who eventually evolved into Captain America/Homelander.

3) Triple H committed burglary on camera. He invaded Randy Orton’s home, beat him up, destroyed some of his property, and then threw Orton out the window. But it’s all fine because he’s the good guy, so he’s still employed by the WWE.

4) Dominik Mysterio is beefing with his dad, who literally fought for child custody of him in a wrestling match. Keep that in mind anytime you see Dominik not getting along with Rey.

5) Edge got sent to hell, but is okay now.

6) CM Punk was once a cult leader, but stopped doing that after he lost his hair. Then he became the opposite, as in he turned into an anti-authority rebel.

7) A lot of wrestlers, such as Sheamus and Shawn Spears, apparently used to work at WWE as background staff/security guards.

8) Real life famous music artist Bad Bunny is part of the lore and he actually beat a world champion (Damian Priest) in a match. And I don’t mean Bad Bunny is playing a character. In the WWE lore, Bad Bunny is playing himself.

(Feel free to add on any other leaps in logic from pro-wrestling)

It's an interesting touch that Cody's WrestleMania video package includes clips of past interactions with three of the top likely contenders for his title.

(This implies that Kevin would have remained in the title picture if Cody wins, and now I'm sad again).

Randy Orton kicking a YouTuber dressed up as a Prime drink mascot as hard as he can is just one of the 18 million reasons why I love WrestleMania.

RANDY ORTON WWE SmackDown, March 7th, 2025

[d-lanx]

ok so i was talking to my mum about some of the shit going down in wwe, and cos she kept asking who was who and i was showing her pictures, it devolved into her telling me which wrestlers she thought were hot and not. she only really cared for the older guys cos she says she ain't a cradle snatcher. but here's the most interesting reactions

CM Punk: likes the rugged look, thinks he's handsome and has cute mannerisms.

Drew McIntyre: again, a big rugged man, so what's not to love? and she's a big fan of nice eyes, so of course drew's icy eyes were a BIG hit. Thinks his dimples are cute.

Randy Orton: she says she's not normally a fan of smooth men (tumblr would be proud) but she could make an exception for him (tumblr would be proud again)

Damien Priest: cool looking but not hot. she's never been a fan of edgy, gothic, etc styles.

Rhea Ripley: Scary.

Cody Rhodes: Also scary. Very stary.

John Cena: Also got the staring eyes. But she's not a fan of his "very american chiseled kind of handsome only americans seem to like." thinks he has the head of superman, and he looks a little gay like those russian/chinese propaganda posters

Acknowledge him and buy some flowers first at least, my guy.
