– Below is video of new WWE United States Champion Randy Orton talking to Sam Roberts and Renee Young. Orton admits Jinder Mahal gets under his skin a bit but says Bobby Roode hasn’t been here long enough to have that same opportunity. Orton says if Roode does start getting under his skin, he will find his name on the same list as Jinder. Orton gives props to Roode and says he has the upmost respect for him. Regarding WrestleMania 34, Orton acknowledges that there is a lot of sign pointing going on and says it’s always nice going into WrestleMania with a title around your waist. Orton says he’s shouldering the weight of having this title and he wants to represent it the best he can, and that’s what he plans on doing.
