The world-famous wrestler reportedly dropped $1,000 to have his character leveled. Elden Ring can be a tough game to overcome. It\u2019s a From Software title, so that\u2019s kind of expected. It\u2019s the kind of difficulty that inspired challenge runs using blindfolds, dance pads, and even a goldfish. For those hoping to mitigate some of the challenges, Elden Ring makes it easier than most Soulsborne titles to over-level yourself. The long grind for runes has caused players to figure out plenty of exploits to speed up the process. WWE\u2019s Randy Orton is a pretty busy guy, so for him, it looks like it was easier to have someone do the hard part for him. On a recent episode of Insiderz TV, former WWE Superstars Mansoor Al-Shehail and Brennan Williams revealed that Orton had apparently paid someone to level his Elden Ring character. Al-Shehail and Williams explained they were both known video game enjoyers amongst their WWE colleagues. According to them, that\u2019s why Orton initially approached them at the peak of Elden Ring\u2019s hype to discuss the game with them. According to the duo, despite Orton\u2019s love of the game, he\u2019d been struggling with the early hours of Elden Ring. Al-Shehail performed his version of the interaction during the Insiderz TV stream. \u201cYeah no it\u2019s f**king hard,\u201d Orton explained to the pair in Al-Shehail\u2019s retelling. \u201cUh, I paid a guy like a thousand bucks to give me, like, infinite runes so I could just level up to 100 right away.\u201d \u201cPeople are gonna talk about that on Twitter and think that that\u2019s a fake rumor,\u201d Al Shehail said after he was done with his recreation. \u201cOut of all the rumors that sound fake, that is the realest one,\u201d replied Williams. A hilarious dramatization of the encounter was uploaded to the Insiderz TV TikTok account which does the moment more justice than my words ever could. I know I called Orton\u2019s paid rune farming cheating but perhaps that was a little harsh. When you\u2019ve got a busy schedule of training, traveling, and performing, maybe a little pay-to-win is understandable. Especially if it\u2019s to enjoy a certified banger like Elden Ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWE Superstar Randy Orton reportedly paid $1,000 to level up his Elden Ring character FromSoftware\/WWERandy Orton is no stranger to cheating in the WWE ring and we love him for it but cheating at Elden Ring?
