At NXT TakeOver: In Your House, Tommaso Ciampa faced off against the brand’s new monster, Karrion Kross. Sadly for Ciampa, he was crushed by the newcomer. Still, it remained an entertaining match, and the card as a whole delivered.
Still, there will always be critics, as the NXT Universe learned from Randy Orton’s tweet following the show.
Heard #WWENXT #TakeoverInYourHouse was great! Slappin my leg for you guys. Sincerely #legslap

Randy Orton took a slight jab at NXT while bringing up leg slaps during superkicks. Oddly enough, Orton’s short-lived running mates brought them up in a recent tweet as well.
Things you probably won’t see in our debut match with @AEWrestling:
Jumping knee strike
Hand prints on our thighs
Jump off the top, miss, land on my feet & do a roll
Superkick
Bicycle kick
Diamond cutter variation, but call it “(fancy name) Cutter”
Canadian Destroyer

Dax Harwood even followed up on Orton’s comment.

However, Tommaso Ciampa decided to return the favor, calling Orton boring and claiming he used the Viper’s matches to put his daughter to sleep.
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

Orton doubled down, of course. With rumors now swirling regarding a potential move to RAW or SmackDown for Ciampa, is WWE laying the groundwork for his first feud here?
