Randy Orton may be one of the best heels in the world, and one fan took a page out of the Legend Killer's playbook at a WWE live event. In 2013, at a live event in Cape Town, South Africa, Randy Orton faced Big E in a singles match, which he won.

Following the match, Orton was celebrating with his trademark pose on the turnbuckle, when unbeknownst to him, a fan entered the ring and low-blowed him. The fan was dragged away by the referee and security. Even Big E, Orton's opponent, who was on the outside, was incensed and was held back by security from attacking this fan.

WWE released a statement following the attack by the fan on Randy Orton:

"WWE.com has learned that Randy Orton was violently attacked by an audience member during a SmackDown World Tour Live Event in Cape Town, South Africa, this evening. Footage of the attack was captured by a WWE fan and posted to YouTube, and shows the perpetrator striking Orton from behind. The matter is currently under investigation by the local authorities, and the South African fan is being held in jail pending criminal charges. The extent of Orton’s injuries are unknown at this time."

The fan was later identified as "Jozi, the wrestling machine" who said that he had planned the attack on Orton and wanted to face him in the ring.
