5 WWE Superstars who deleted tweets after fan backlash

#2 WWE Superstar Randy Orton deletes tweet after targeting female fan

It's not exactly a secret that Randy Orton is one of the most controversial Superstars in WWE history. He was a brash young rookie back in 2002-03 and was someone who didn't care what others thought of his behavior. Orton's behavior improved as time passed, but he kept getting into trouble occasionally. Back in 2014, a female fan took a photo with the WWE legend and posted it online.

Orton later tweeted the same photo to his girlfriend and dubbed the fan as 'Ms. Piggy'. The tweet received major fan backlash, and Twitterati slammed Orton for being a bully to the fan and insulting her in front of millions of people on Twitter. Orton soon realized that he had messed up big time and proceeded to delete the tweet. He then sent out a tweet apologizing for bullying the female fan. Orton's girlfriend and the fan had some beef in the past, and The Viper decided to take extreme measures to get back at her. Thankfully, he realized his mistake and owned up to it.

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.
