WWE Superstar and Wyatt Family member Randy Orton recently talked to CBS Sports about teaming up with Bray Wyatt, Shane McMahon’s scary bump at Survivor Series and more. You can check out the full interview here along with some highlights below.
Why he checked on Shane McMahon’s family during Survivor Series: “I know what it’s like to be in his position and I know what it’s like to be in his family’s position, because I’ve been on both sides growing up in the business. Especially having my kids ringside when I’ve been hit a little too hard, maybe, if you know what I mean, or got a gash across the top of my head in a ladder match. I know that the kids worry. And I knew where they were sitting and I also knew that the match was gonna slow down to tend to Shane and make sure he was alright. So I just thought you know what? What better use of my time for the next 15 seconds than to go over there and talk to his kids and make sure they’re cool?”
What he told Shane’s family: “I told them their dad was a champ and he was a tough dude, and he’s fine, and it’s just part of what we’re doing right now, kids. Don’t worry about it. And they smiled and the wife was happy, and everything was cool,”
“At first I was like ‘Oh man, I’m blowing my gig, I can’t be that guy. But at the same time, that’s who I am. The people got to see a little side of me and that’s the nurturing father figure that I am for my kids.”
