WWE star Randy Orton was the first person to know about Kevin Owens’ injury

During a recent interview with le10sport, Kevin Owens revealed that Randy Orton was the first person to know about his injury after he consulted with the doctors.

KO added that he wanted The Viper to be the first person to know about it because of their scheduled match at WWE WrestleMania 41.

“Randy was the first person I spoke to after the discussion with the doctors, because it’s a question of respect as well. He was the one I was supposed to have a match with at WrestleMania. And despite the things that happened in the months leading up to WrestleMania, there are very few people in the wrestling world that I respect as much as Randy Orton. So, I spoke to him immediately. He was the first person I called after talking to the doctor,” he said.

It remains to be seen when Kevin Owens will return to the squared circle in World Wrestling Entertainment.
