#4 Adam Pearce could be getting his own WWE faction soon

Adam Pearce has been a mainstay on WWE television over the last year as an on-screen official. The company recently filed a trademark for multiple different versions of the term SCRAPP METTAL, which has caught the attention of fans.

Pearce once used Scrap Iron as his ring name during his wrestling days, and his Twitter handle is "@ScrapDaddyAP". The recent trademark filings are definitely related to him, and fans are speculating that it could possibly be for a new faction led by him.


#3 Vince McMahon denied Randy Orton's entrance pitch for WWE Crown Jewel 2021

RAW Tag Team Champions Randy Orton and Riddle, together known as RK-Bro, successfully defended their titles against AJ Styles and Omos at Crown Jewel 2021.

The King of Bros left fans in splits when he rode a camel to the ring during their entrance. He recently revealed that Orton also pitched the idea to ride a camel to the ring with him, but Vince McMahon denied that.

"The camel was a good time! I highly recommend, if you haven’t ridden a camel, get yourself a camel, get yourself the opportunity to ride one. Especially if you get the opportunity to ride one in Saudi, embrace the culture there and everything else – and the fans loved it. I’ll be honest – I loved it. You know who wasn’t happy about it though, because they didn’t get to ride a camel either? Randy. Randy wanted to ride a camel and Vince wouldn’t let him. He goes, 'Randy, that’s not your character, riding a camel.' He’s like, 'What does that mean man?! My character doesn’t ride a camel?!' I’m like, 'Randy, I’m sorry bro, sometimes you’re just not the dude that rides camels," said Riddle. (h/t Fightful).

Randy Orton and Riddle have been massive fan favorites throughout their WWE run together. They will be facing SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos at Survivor Series 2021.
