Randy Orton is a respected WWE veteran these days. However, that wasn’t always the case. The Viper was one of the most troublesome talent during his early days with the promotion. That, though, didn’t stop him from being a ladies man. In fact, he would regularly invite several attractive women backstage. Unsurprisingly, this too got him heat in the WWE locker room from the older guys at the time.
Tipped to be a future star right from the beginning, the second-generation star, alongside his then fellow WWE star, Mark Jindrak, were notorious for bringing in women backstage. The two were often paired with Kevin Nash, who had a few stories to share about the duo.
Randy Orton had heat in WWE Locker room for bringing multiple “hot smoking” women backstage
During the Kliq This podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash recalled driving with Randy Orton and Mark Jindrak. He revealed that the duo would often bring very attractive women to the arenas and even the locker rooms.
“I just remember him and Jindrak were good buddies, and I was like the driver; I had those two young f*ckers with me. And they were getting a*s everywhere! I mean, those two, and they would talk about it. They would come into the locker room. They would bring the broads to the f*cking arenas, and they were hot smoking! There would be like two hot smoking girls in the back sitting somewhere, and people would go like, ‘Who are they?’ ‘They are with Jindrak and Orton.’”
Nash added that this got the two a lot of heat backstage, but not because the guys in the back felt disrespected but because the girls were quite stunning.
“And it got so much heat on Randy and Jindrak from the old guys. It wasn’t because it was disrespectful or anything; it was because it was such sweet ass.”
Mark Jindrak was originally part of Evolution
Randy Orton made his WWE debut back in 2002. However, it was in 2003 when fans first started taking notice of him. Alongside Triple H, Ric Flair and fellow newcomer Dave Batista, Orton was part of ‘Evolution,’ a group that would eventually establish itself as one of the greatest stables in wrestling history.
However, the Viper was not part of the original plans for the group. In fact, his spot was reserved for his friend Mark Jindrak. They even shot vignettes of the stable with Jindrak in it. However, the other three members felt Orton suited the role more and the then legend killer was inserted into his role instead.
Speaking on his Something To Wrestle, Podcast, Bruce Richard said:
“I don’t know if Jindrak just didn’t necessarily click with the other three guys, but they all felt Randy would click. Randy immediately slid into that role, and it was a good combination.”
Orton went on to become the youngest world champion during his time with the stable. Jindrak on the other hand, despite being billed as one for the future, went on to be released by the company in 2005.
