However, they have nothing against each other at the moment. While recalling how Randy Orton was a ‘miserable prick’, Ray said:

“Me and Randy have squashed all of our issues, all of our problems. Neither one of us wants to speak a bad word about one another ever again. We have a nice relationship now. Hugging and kissing when we see each other. But yeah, there were times, as I said before, that he was a bad apple early in his career and that ‘miserable prick’ thing, as Hunter pointed out, kind of followed him. This is probably the least miserable we’ve ever seen Randy since he’s come back from injury.” [H/T – WrestlingInc.]
