Everyone’s favorite lovable jerk, Kevin Owens, isn’t afraid of much. He’ll headbutt the big boss, get his best friend turned worst enemy to turn heel and become his best friend again, and then the two of them will get themselves sent home from a European tour.
And now KO is risking an RKO by fighting on Twitter with indie wrestling’s least favorite wrestler, Randy Orton. But to be fair, Randy started it:
Of course he stopped by…… it was a DESSERT PARTY.🍩🍪🍭🍰🎂 https://t.co/FsCOsEkiFw

But Kevin’s comeback was direct and to the point, pointing out that he’s far from the only one with vices.

When a fan shared an illegible Orton autograph, Kevin continued that line of attack.

But Orton insisted he’s gone cold turkey on that sweet sweet cotton, and also got in a dig about recent events.
I actually quit vaping this European tour, but you wouldn’t know because you ain’t here. https://t.co/PjDtQIo95N

At this point Kevin becomes conflicted about what to say next.

Kevin Owens’ l’esprit de l’escalier aside, these intrabrand social media feuds are always fun reading for fans. It’s possible that this online insult match between the babyface nobody likes and the heel everyone loves will actually lead to an angle on Smackdown Live, but admittedly it’s hard to imagine Tom Phillips explaining, ” … and then Kevin Owens replied ‘You vape!'”
Not to mention, recent storylines have understandably led to a lot of fan speculation that Kevin and Sami may move to Raw after Survivor Series. But whatever happens, we’ll always have the moment when KO called out Randy Orton for vaping.
