5 times the fans provoked WWE Superstars

#1 Randy Orton throws a tantrum backstage

The Raw after WrestleMania 29 saw one of the absolute best crowds in the history of professional wrestling.

The fans were completely engaged throughout the night and took over the show on multiple occasions. In a match pitting Randy Orton and Sheamus, the fans began voicing their displeasure almost immediately. The chants included the likes of "Mike Chioda", "We want Ziggler", "RVD", "JBL", "Jerry Lawler" and "CM Punk".

The chants continued throughout the match and it was clear as day that the WWE Universe didn't want to see these two Superstars wrestle in front of them. The Big Show interrupted the match, taking out both the wrestlers. This earned him a "Thank you Big Show" chant.

Reportedly, Orton threw a major tantrum backstage after the match and was genuinely pissed off at the fan response.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

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.
