Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!
Clearly, Orton's promo was an indirect mock towards The Bullet Club, who he apparently thinks stole the Too Sweet hand gesture from the legendary New World Order. And this definitely wasn't the only time 'The Viper' mentioned the Bullet Club on TV, more on that on the next slide.
