[FONT="]In 2012, former WWE writer Court Bauer said on a podcast that Orton would pull out his penis and touch himself in front of new writers as a form of "initiation." The accusation got new life when a Reddit user recently reposted Bauer's quote.

[FONT="]"For every new writer that would show up, he comes in the room puts his hand down his pants, pulls out his d—, touches himself, then says 'I'm Randy Orton, shake my hand…oh you don't want to shake my hand? You're big leaguing me? That's f—ed up man. Should I tell Vince and Steph you won't shake Randy Orton's hand?'" Bauer said back then.

[FONT="]When asked Friday on Twitter if his story from six years ago really happened, Bauer responded "yes.
