32 WTF Moments From WWE Battleground

24. WWE Intentionally Ignores That Orton Is From St. Louis

When Randy Orton made his way out to the ring, Lillian Garcia introduced him without mentioning the fact that he hails from St. Louis, Missouri, likely an attempt to curb the audience cheering for him, considering that the PPV was being broadcast from that very city. It's another ridiculously cheap and blatant tactic by the WWE to try and influence fan opinion rather than just let them cheer for who they want to. Given that Lillian told the crowd where Sheamus came from just one minute earlier, it stuck out and was very noticeable, not to mention just plain weird.
