Matt Riddle – 'Vince McMahon Banned Randy Orton From Riding A Camel'

12/21/2024 03:46 AM

Vince McMahon’s handling of Randy Orton turned the wrestler into a WWE icon, but one thing McMahon wouldn’t do is let Orton ride a camel.

At WWE Crown Jewel 2021, Orton and Matt Riddle defended the RAW Tag Team Titles against AJ Styles and Omos, with Riddle arriving via camel.

On a recent edition of the “Developmentally Speaking” podcast, Riddle recalled McMahon making sure Orton didn’t ride the ungulate. He said,

“I remember when we were in Saudi and I rode the camel and Randy was like, ‘I want to ride a camel.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, Randy — get Randy on a camel.’ And then Vince was like, ‘No.’ Randy’s like, ‘Why not?’ He’s [Vince] like, ‘Your character wouldn’t ride a camel.’ What a simple answer, you know?” 

Orton and Riddle retained the titles at the show but lost the gold a few months later to Alpha Academy. They won the titles back in 2022.

Despite Riddle being released from WWE last year, the Original Bro is hoping to reunite with his RK-Bro ally. Click here to find out more.
