World Wrestling Entertainment star Randy Orton<\/a> was attacked by a fan after a match in South Africa and it wasn\u2019t part of any schtick.<\/p>\n

The incident happened Tuesday at a SmackDown event in Cape Town<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A video of the incident shows Orton standing on the ropes, facing the crowd when a a fan sneaks into the ring, walks up to Orton and punches him between the legs. The famous wrestler falls down on the mat as security rushes into the ring to grab the offender.<\/p>\n

TMZ reported that the man, who might be responsible for the \u201cfirst ever genuine WWE injury\u201d, was later arrested and placed in police custody. Doctors were allegedly sent to check out Orton.<\/p>\n

The sucker punch might have been a blow to Orton, but the 33-year-old recently had a personal victory in his divorce settlement with ex-wife Samantha Speno.<\/p>\n

In the agreement, he retained multiple six-figure bank accounts, cars, his gun collection, jewelry and one of their houses. He also kept all rights, title and interest in his WWE contract. \u2013 Huffington Post<\/a><\/p>\n
