If you ask any WWE fan about the most viewed segment in the promotion’s history, there is a high chance that the epic fight between Brock Lesnar and John Cena will be the answer. But what if I tell you that they are completely wrong, then what comes to your mind next?
The most viewed WWE segment is not the brawl that cleared the entire WWE locker room, but an R-rated moment that involves Randy Orton and the daughter of WWE’s former CEO, Vince McMahon.
Randy Orton kissing Stephanie McMahon became the most-viewed WWE segment
This was before the PG-13 era, and WWE was answerable to none for their content; wild and vulgar segments were popular and common at that point. However, there was one segment that crossed all limits of obscenity and would have easily resulted in the promotion getting banned if it aired in today’s society.
During the build-up to WrestleMania 25, Randy Orton was involved in a feud with the McMahon family and vowed to destroy them in every possible way, but none imagined the sadistic path the Viper would actually take.
On an episode of RAW, Randy Orton cuffed Triple H to the ropes and made Stephanie McMahon unconscious with the draping DDT, then went on to take advantage of her while his husband watched helplessly.
In that infamous segment, Randy Orton smooched the daughter of WWE’s main man, which left fans stunned by the audacity and unpredictiveness of the show.
This went on to become the promotion’s most-viewed segment, overtaking some of the most epic WWE moments.
WWE star names this incident as the most villainous moment in WWE history
WWE superstar Damian Priest, in an interview with WWE Pop Question, claimed that this incident was the most villainous moment in WWE history. According to him, no segment will ever come close to it, labeling it as the wildest incident in the history of the promotion.
That whole thing with Randy Orton hitting Stephanie with a RKO while hunter was tied up was crazy though.We know what happened there that was by far the wildest thing
The entire timeline of the feud between Orton and the McMahon family was filled with surprises and audacious acts. The Viper singlehandedly took away sleep from the entire family as he went after every McMahon regardless of gender and age.
Vince McMahon even threatened to fire Orton if he didn’t issue a public apology to Stephanie for calling her “worthless.” Instead of an apology, Orton went after Vince McMahon and even knocked out Shane McMahon when he came to his father’s aid.
Randy Orton, without a doubt, will go on to be one of the most iconic villains to ever appear in the WWE. Maybe no other WWE villain will ever be able to repeat even a fraction of what the Viper has done for the company.
