While WWE has plenty of stars who love different aspects of geek culture, decorated veteran Randy Orton is rarely seen as one of them. But the 14-time world champion took to Twitter early Tuesday morning to whole-heartedly endorse the hit Star Wars series on Disney+, The Mandalorian. Orton wrote, “Listen, I know it’s late. I know I burned a man alive couple days ago and I shouldn’t be trusted, but whatever you do, don’t sleep on #Mandalorian just started season 1 and I think I’m in love #BabyYoda.”

By “burned a man alive,” Orton was referring to his victory over “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at the TLC pay-per-view this past Sunday. “The Viper” won the Firefly Inferno Match by pushing Wyatt back-first into the flames at ringside, then lit his unconscious body on fire with gasoline.

Orton isn’t the only wrestler to cause a stir on social media with his Star Wars takes. Over the weekend AEW star Cody Rhodes gave his updated rankings on all of the Star Wars properties, which sparked quite a few conversations.

“With the most recent season, I might bump 7 to 6 – Mando is just [fire emojis] right now,” Rhodes wrote in his tweets.
