Big E on Randy Orton’s change of view regarding Black Lives Matter movement

Randy Orton recently spoke at length regarding the Black Lives Matter movement, where he voiced his support. He revealed he did not understand the movement until it was explained to him. This certainly surprised Big E.

 


 

Big E spoke to The Sports Bubble, where he went into some detail regarding Orton’s change in opinion. Orton is a friend to him and they had talked about the movement, resulting in Big E finally making Orton understand it.

Big E mentioned it was not about making anyone liberal, it was for Randy to understand what his black friends go through.

“Randy will admit, like he doesn’t have the squeaky clean past,” Big E said. “Like he’s definitely, you know, made some mistakes in the past. And that’s not to absolve him of anything he’s done, but like you said, he’s had this really conservative viewpoint. It’s not for me to try to make him a liberal or anything, but I think it’s something that he’s had close black friends, and I consider Randy a friend, and we’ve had some of conversations at work.”

“I think over the course of the last few years, even. And I think he’s finally starting to get it, you know? And like you said, that is I think as impactful as it can be to see a black athlete or black entertainers speak up about these things. I think it can be really impactful as well to see someone like Randy, who’s had these conservative views who in the past would never speak up to say anything like this to really, you know, I thought he did a really good job with what he posted and to offer that kind of support.”

Big E has also spoken about the Black Lives Matter movement and everything that took place following the death of George Floyd. Protests continue to take place as people demand a change in policies in the United States.
