Rhea Ripley and CM Punk admired a fellow WWE star jovially in a recent interview.
Punk and Ripley were recently interviewed during promotions for WWE Unreal. One of the topics touched upon in the interview was about fellow superstar Randy Orton’s desire to play Batman.
CM Punk and Rhea Ripley Joke About Randy Orton As Batman
In an interview with Filmseal, Punk was asked about Orton’s recent tweet expressing his desire to play the iconic Batman character in James Gunn’s DC Universe film.
Responding to this, both Ripley and Punk said that it was funny for them to think of the former WWE Champion in a batsuit, considering he had put on a lot of muscle recently. Punk even suggested The Viper play the role of Bane, jokingly saying that Orton looked like he weighed 500 pounds.
Below is an excerpt of their conversation:
[Punk] Now I am just picturing Randy [Orton] as Batman.
[Ripley] Yeah!
[Punk] He’d be a cranky ass Batman.
[Ripley] They are going to need a massive suit for that man.
[Punk] Yeah!
[Ripley] They don’t need to add the muscle, though.
[Punk] He could play Bane at this point. He’s 500 pounds.”

While there could always be a possibility of Randy Orton being the next Caped Crusader, The Viper currently has to play superhero at the upcoming SummerSlam PLE, where he will be teaming up with musician Jelly Roll in a Tag Team Match against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul.
At the same PLE, Punk will take on Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship, and Rhea Ripley will be a part of a Triple Threat Match for the Women’s World Title against reigning champion Naomi and IYO SKY.
