10 Awful WWE Backstage Hazing Stories
9. Randy Orton Vs. The Women’s Locker Room
It’s a good job Randy Orton seems to have calmed down in recent years, because earlier in his career, 'The Viper' was a notorious backstage miscreant. Orton has notched two Wellness Policy violations during his time with WWE, and was suspended for unprofessional conduct in 2006. Aside from incurring the wrath of company brass, Orton has made enemies of a number of fellow wrestlers over the years, most notably Mr. Kennedy, who still blames Randy for his WWE release.
Orton’s worst crimes were committed against the company’s women, however. Amy Weber resigned from WWE in 2005, citing the promotion’s “frat-house like” environment and alleging harassment from a number of wrestlers, including Orton. It was originally reported that Weber left because 'The Viper' had, ahem, answered a call of nature in her bag, but that wasn’t the case.
The bag in question actually belonged to Rochelle Loewen, not Weber, and it was a mix of baby oil and self-tanning lotion that he’d vandalised it with. Still, picking on the women is about as low as it gets, and after leaving WWE in 2005, Loewen had the following to say on Orton:-
“It was just baby oil and self-tanning lotion, but I wouldn’t put it past him to do a s*** in my bag. He’s an animal, an absolute animal. The guy is just absolutely out to lunch, he’s just r******d!”
