Where is Kim Marie Kessler from?
Kim Marie Kessler was born in New York City in the United States of America on April 1, 1985. As far as we know, she is from New York and is an American. She has, however, decided not to talk about her parents – who they are, what they do for a living, where they are from, and all such other information about them, so it is not possible to trace where her parents are from or their ethnicity or ancestral heritage.
What Does Randy Orton’s Wife, Kim Marie Kessler Do For a Living?
Currently, Kim Marie Kessler is an entrepreneur and fashion clothes designer. She has her own brand called SLTHR, and they make Tee Shirts and Hoodies for Males, Females, and even kids as well. Her husband might have something to do with her current business, though, as you can see, some of their clothes have the Viper sign/insignia on them – which is her husband’s ring name, “The Viper”.
Randy Orton also uses his Social Media handles to promote his wife’s clothes brand and advertise her online store. Kim Kessler began her career life as a model, and after trying for a while to establish herself as one of the elite models out there in the United States, she sort of cooled off on that phase of her life. She started the clothes brand line after marrying Randy Orton.
In February 2022, Kim and her best friend Giovanna Angle – wife of WWE Superstar Kurt Angle, launched a podcast they called The Wives of Wrestling. The podcast is available on all online streaming media, such as Apple Music, Spotify, and others. Their purpose in setting up the podcast was to talk about the behind-the-scene aspects of the husband’s lives – away from the ring.
They intend to showcase the other side of their better halves as husbands and fathers to their children and also to highlight the lives of the families, children, and wives of these popular WWE superstars. They did not want to take sides too much with their husbands against other WWE superstars, but just to show a different angle to the personae folks know in the ring.
The podcast premiered on February 7, 2022, and has about 30 Episodes already across all major online streaming platforms. They have also had some very interesting perspectives and interviewed the wives of other WWE superstars on their podcast to also talk about their own husbands, challenges, successes, and behind-the-scene situations in their homes.

She has had clashes with her husband’s employers, fans, and her husband’s colleagues/rivals at work on a few occasions. Here are a few instances –
Fallout With Her Husband’s Fans – Especially His Female Fans
After she got married to Randy Orton, his choice to marry her must have broken so many of his female fan’s hearts, who saw her as a gold digger who was only marrying their heartthrob for his fame and fortune. A female fan named Kayla Gomez – who seems to have some feelings for her husband, trolled her endlessly on their Social Media handles.
Kayla stalked and attacked Kim and Randy so badly that when they could not take her insults and comments anymore, they both ganged up on her and called her Miss Piggy – thereby body shaming her. Randy Orton then went on to post on his Social Media handles that he had blocked Kayla Gomez and advised her to get a new life. Randy’s female fans also accused her of closing down his fan mail.

The two were throwing jibes at each other on Twitter when Kim commented on her husband’s last post, asking him if Ciampa was not the same person who wants to take credit for all those great matches that he did not put together. She definitely got her man’s back any day.
Backlash Against WWE Superstar Alexa Bliss
In 2021, during WWE’s Fast Lane in an inter-gender wrestling match between Randy Orton and female wrestler Alexa Bliss, the latter got help from WWE superstar Bray Wyatt – known by his stage name “The Fiend”, who suddenly appeared in the ring and took out her husband with the pair of his finishing moves – the mandible claw and sister Abigail, knocking out Orton cold on the canvass.
Alexa Bliss then went on to pin her husband while straddling across him to a count of three by the referee, which saw Orton lose the match. Kim Kessler was definitely angered by Alexa Bliss straddling her husband to submission and tweeted at her around 2 a.m., telling her that she messed up, little girl. This got many fans asking for a match between Kim Kessler and Alexa Bliss on WWE.

While some fans loved the photo, some others did not, but it did get them talking about the wild and adventurous side of the couple.
