WWE “Looking Into” Story About Randy Orton’s Past “Ribbing”

WWE said that they were “looking into” claims that in the past, when meeting new WWE writers, Randy Orton would “pull out his dick and touch himself” then say, “I’m Randy Orton, shake my hand. Oh, you don’t want to shake my hand? You’re big leaguing me?”

The story was from an old episode of the MLW Podcast in 2012 and was told by former WWE writer and founder/CEO of MLW, Court Bauer. The subject of the episode was stories about ribbing in wrestling.

The story resurfaced after someone posted about it on Reddit:

Listening to old episodes of MLW podcast… During episode 49, former WWE Writer Court Bauer tells a story about Randy Orton showing his dick to new writers, touching it, and asking them to shake his hand.

Court Bauer on Randy Orton: “For every new writer that would show up, he would come in the room, put his hand down his pants, pull out his dick, touch himself, then say ‘I’m Randy Orton, shake my hand…oh you don’t want to shake my hand? You’re big leaguing me? That’s fucked up man. Should I tell Vince and Steph you won’t shake Randy Orton’s hand?'”

The writers would all start sweating and backing up into the corner, the guy’s dick is still hanging out, and he would be there cutting a promo on a guy with his dick hanging out for like five minutes. Court goes on to say Orton was very intense so you could never tell if he was fucking with you or he was really hot.

Court says he was lucky… Randy did it to him on the 1st day he was with the company at TV and just as he was about to pull his dick out, Stephanie walked in, and that shit went right back in his pants. Court describes it as a teacher entering the classroom.

When asked if he would have shaken his hand, Court says “I don’t know. I’m a bit of a germaphobe.” Court says this was something Orton did during his (Court’s) entire time at WWE, and he is surprised Orton didn’t get hit with sexual harassment.

When asked by F4Wonline, WWE simply responded with, “We are looking into the matter.”

Bauer worked for WWE around the mid-2000s, so this would have been over 10 years ago.
