The story behind Randy Orton's plane purchase

On the show, the host, Corey Graves and The Viper spoke about the latter's past with Edge and their upcoming Greatest Wrestling Match Ever at WWE Backlash. Graves also asked the former World Heavyweight Champion whether he had actually bought a plane or was that a social media stunt. To that, Orton said the following;
"I did not buy a plane. I came home and my wife goes what the f*** did you say you bought a plane for and I was like what do you mean. She says look at your social media. I was flying home after TV and it was a private plane. I had a few drinks, we were about to take off and I was like oh look at that. Took a picture and was thinking of a comment."
