Randy Orton: AJ Styles Was Getting A Tan With Dixie Carter When I Was Facing The Undertaker
Randy Orton and AJ Styles brought the fire on SmackDown Live.
On tonight’s episode of SmackDown, Randy Orton addressed AJ Styles, specifically Styles’ long-running claim that SmackDown is the “House that AJ Styles built.” During his promo, Orton ran down Styles for spending years on the Independent scene while Orton was main eventing WrestleMania. “In 2005 AJ was in Florida getting a tan with Dixie Carter and I was facing the Undertaker at Wrestlemania,” quipped Orton.

Styles didn’t let Orton’s comments slide, stating Orton couldn’t make it on the Independent scene with an arms out pose and “knock off Diamond Cutter.”
