While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Dolph Ziggler talked about Randy Orton and Edge. He stated that the two are his favourites and also added that there is no one else like Randy Orton when it comes to natural ability inside the ring.

He also said that while Orton hardly ever makes mistakes, many others are afraid of calling him out while he himself is not.

I don’t have any ass to kiss here, I have no horse in the game, but these two are two of my favorites. One, because I know a lot of people hate Randy because he’s so damn good. It’s amazing. I’ll be watching Raw, and say, "Damnit, he does this better than anyone." It makes me so mad. There are only a handful of true naturals, and he is one, and I hate that. So when Randy messes up, I call him out on it. A lot of people are afraid to do that, and that’s fine, but he won’t hear the end of it from me. But good god, no one is as good as he is, and that really pisses me off.
