#2 The RAW after WrestleMania crowd gets on Randy Orton's nerves

At WrestleMania 29, Randy Orton teamed up with Big Show and Sheamus to take on The Shield. The Hounds of Justice emerged victorious when all was said and done. This was The Shield's first WrestleMania match and they made a huge impact by defeating three major stars in their WrestleMania debut. After the match, Big Show turned on his partners and attacked both of them.

The next night on RAW, Orton, and Sheamus faced each other but the match didn't reach its end, as Big Show came out and attacked the duo again. Throughout the match, fans chanted for everything but the two Superstars who were putting on a show for them.

Chants of Mike Chioda, JBL, Steve Austin, ECW, and "Thank you Big Show", filled the arena during the match and Orton wasn't happy one bit. He reportedly threw a temper tantrum following the match. If you go back and watch the match, you can realize that Orton was livid just by his facial expressions.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
