After WWE NXT TakeOver: In Your House ended, Randy Orton took to Twitter and slammed Tommaso Ciampa and other WWE NXT superstars. Randy Orton criticised Tommaso Ciampa for slapping Karrion Kross’ leg in an attempt to make a move sound more impactful during their TakeOver match. The technique is still being used by many WWE superstars and wrestlers in the ring. However, wrestlers like Brock Lesnar don’t like to use these gimmicks to make their moves sound more powerful.

While Randy Orton took to Twitter to hit out at Ciampa, the NXT star wasted no time in getting his rebuttal in. “My daughter has been having trouble sleeping. Luckily I found a remedy. Randy Orton matches. Better than NyQuil. Sincerely,” wrote Tommaso Ciampa. Replying to the Blackheart’s comments, Randy Orton called Tommaso Ciampa a “self-appointed locker-room leader” and asked him to let him know what time “legslap class” starts at wrestling school. A couple of hours later, Randy's wife Kim Orton joined the feud and slammed the former NXT Champion on Twitter. Kim Orton called Tommaso Ciampa 'a man who takes credit for great matches without actually putting them together'.
Looks like I hurt the feelings of the self appointed lockeroom leader of a wrestling school. Let me know what time #legslap class starts so I can take my game to the next level. https://t.co/c2ECCKL44f
