Randy Orton went through tense moments during WrestleMania 42 weekend, when several WWE fans approached him at the MGM Grand Hotel.
WWE faced serious problems with the crowd because of poor security. First, several fans camped out in front of the hotel elevators where the wrestlers were staying. Then, there was an incident involving CM Punk and some people, while Bayley was photographed against her will.
In Orton’s case, it all started when he was approaching the elevator and was recognized by a fan. Within minutes, a large crowd formed and caused a commotion.

Unlike Punk, who nearly came to blows, Orton kept his composure until he managed to get into the elevator.
It’s worth remembering that Orton was defeated by Cody Rhodes in the main event of night one of WrestleMania 42, losing his chance to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship.
After the match, however, Orton carried out a brutal attack on the American Nightmare, making it clear that the rivalry is not over yet.
With that loss, Pat McAfee had to permanently end his WWE career, in accordance with the match stipulation.
