During an appearance on Smacktalk Radio, WWE star and current Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston addressed an incident back in 2010 during a triple threat match on Monday Night Raw involving Randy Orton and John Cena where Orton was heard yelling “stupid” at Kingston.

What everyone doesn’t remember is that we were in a heated rivalry so a lot of what you saw was him being his character and him kinda playing to that. I thought it was real funny when I started reading these things like ‘Randy Orton doesn’t like Kofi’, which I think is fine because it added to what we were doing at the time, it made people more interested in what we were doing…it is what it is….”
