Former WWE star Ken Doane, aka Kenny Dykstra, posted the following on Twitter regarding who he believes in WWE is lobbying for Randy Orton's release:
"When I was there and Orton got suspended for the first time, [John] Cena told me he wanted Orton fired. So now I'm sure it's probably him trying for RKO's release. Regardless, hopefully he don't get fired since he has a young child and is the best story teller in WWE. They do still tell stories in the ring right?"
It's worth noting that in the Randy Orton DVD The Evolution of a Predator, John Cena is quoted as saying that he was not fond of the "old Randy Orton" and that there are two versions of Orton; the old Orton and the new Orton. Cena joked that "the old Orton was an asshole."
