3 real-life WWE backstage tantrums and 3 that were not real

#4 Randy Orton (real-life tantrum)

The RAW after WWE WrestleMania is always a memorable affair, as fans from all across the world attend the show and make it a point to engage with the wrestlers as much as they can. The WWE RAW after WrestleMania 29 in 2013 was one such event.

Fans were going bananas from the very beginning and they took it up a notch during the Randy Orton vs Sheamus match. Fans seemed disinterested in the action taking place in the ring and chanted for numerous big names, including former WWE Superstars and wrestling personalities. Some of the names chanted were that of JBL, CM Punk, Mike Chioda, and RVD.

In the end, Big Show came out and attacked both Superstars, which resulted in a "Thank You Big Show" chant. When Orton went backstage, he was out of control and couldn't believe what had just happened. Orton reportedly threw a major tantrum over the crowd's complete disinterest and disrespect during his match. A babyface at the time, Orton certainly didn't act like one in real life on this particular night.

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.
