Randy Orton decided to have some fun with AJ Styles on social media.
It all started when Orton went back and forth with RJ City, who had been using lyrics of Orton’s theme songs. Apparently, Orton got the songs stuck in his head and fired back at RJ.
He did so while also bringing up the theory that Styles thinks the earth is flat. This has been an ongoing joke among some wrestlers about the former WWE Champion.
Orton wrote, “They council me, they understand Multiple musical notes F**k you for doing this to me bro. As @AJStylesOrg would say, ‘frick’…. also he’s a flat earther. Lets talk about THAT.”
Wow @TheMattCardona is right. You really are an asshole. Now I can’t get that stupid tune out of my head. https://t.co/XrBOE65AD5

The joke about Styles’ belief dates back to Daniel Bryan sharing it on an episode of Talking Smack back in February 2017.
Bryan said that Styles is a “flat-earther.” Styles denied Bryan’s claim but did say, “I do not think the world is flat, I’m just saying there’s some stuff about it.”
WWE was supposed to do an angle on Monday’s episode of Raw to set up a big match at this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view event involving Orton. However, the angle got delayed. For more on that, click here.
