Mark Henry: “I’m so damn happy right now that Randy Orton is back to being the Viper”
As seen during the March 13th 2026 episode of WWE SmackDown, Randy Orton turned heel against Cody Rhodes ahead of their match at WrestleMania 42. While speaking on Busted Open Radio, WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry reacted to the segment…
“I’m so damn happy right now that Randy Orton is back to being the Viper. Don’t trust him, fear him, and treat him like he’s gonna punch you at any moment. That’s what I want.
But I’m gonna tell you — you know who’s loving this more than me? Bob Armstrong, Bob Orton, the older guys. Jesse Ventura — I bet you he is laughing his ass off right now because they respect the gangster. They respect the guy that he knows he could be good, but he chooses to be bad.
Regardless of how nice I was, respectful, as much as I love being Sexual Chocolate, as much as I love being the World’s Strongest Man — you know where I made the most money? In the Hall of Pain.
The people wanted to see me kick people’s ass, run people through cages, whip people with belts.
That’s what I want from Randy.”
