Randy Orton has hit Twitter to pay tribute to the Bollywood Boyz after Sunil and Samir Singh were released by WWE on Friday.

The current WWE Raw star tweeted in response to the Bollywood Boyz, who had spoken of wanting to earn Randy's respect a few years ago and make their opponents look good whenever given the opportunity:-

The Bollywood Boyz were formally known as the Singh Brothers when they clashed with Orton through Randy's 2017 feud with Jinder Mahal. Sunil and Samir were serving as Mahal's human shields at the time, which remains their most famous role, and took some wild, crazy bumps for Orton on consecutive pay-per-views.

Prior to their departure, the Bollywood Boyz had been with WWE since 2016, when they entered the company through the Cruiserweight Classic tournament. The duo were integrated into the 205 Live roster thereafter, finding their roles alongside Mahal in 2017, though the trio was split shortly after the 2019 Superstar Shakeup.

From there, the Singhs wrestled exclusively on 205 Live until their departure. If, as is often the norm in WWE, they are bound by 90-day non-compete clauses, they will be free to sign elsewhere from 23 September.
