WWE's Randy Orton disses Royals in Kansas City, John Cena defends them

Mike Oz

You didn't think it was just radio stations having fun with Kansas City Royals being in the World Series, did you? World Wrestling Entertainment's popular "Monday Night Raw" was live from Kansas City on World Series Eve, and the occasion wasn't going to pass without cheap heat.

Randy Orton — the star of those hilarious RKO Vines — was called on to anger the Kansas City crowd by dissing the Royals. He's a good fit, considering he's from St. Louis.

Orton was cutting a promo against John Cena when a "Let's Go Royals" chant broke out in the crowd. Orton quickly flipped into super heel mode and told the fans:

"The Royals will not win. They will never win. You've got at least another 100 years. In your lifetime, you will not see your precious Royals win when it matters."

John Cena came out shortly thereafter and defended Kansas City's honor, because that's what you're supposed to do when you're every 8-year-old boy's favorite wrestler.

Royals bro on the left sorta looks like younger, beard-less Alex Gordon, doesn't he?

On another wrestling-meets-baseball note: As far as we know, there are no RKO baseball vines — somebody fix that, woulda ya? — but as tangential entertainment, here's Giancarlo Stanton getting 619'd by Rey Mysterio.
