5 Times WWE acknowledged The Bullet Club on TV

#3 Randy Orton throws a 'Too Sweet' shade on SmackDown

While Randy Orton was feuding with Jeff Hardy on SmackDown Live a few months ago, he made things very personal against 'The Charismatic Enigma', as 'The Viper' claimed that the WWE Universe didn't show him enough respect which he had deserved in the first place.

In the build-up to their intense rivalry, Orton cut one of the most kayfabe-breaking, genuine, and honest promos' ever seen on live TV, as he took shots at Jeff Hardy, Indie Wrestlers and their "flippy" style of wrestling, The Bingo Halls, and lastly took a dig at a group who seemingly stole a 'Sweet Hand Gesture'.

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.
