Police were after Randy Orton and two other stars; he blew up dynamite
Randy Orton has been known to be problematic in the past, sometimes going too far with his actions outside the ring. According to his confession, the police were after him once.
Orton is currently set to challenge Gunther for the World Heavyweight Championship. He has changed over the years and is milder now than he used to be, with crazy stories of what Orton used to do backstage circulating in the wrestling world. The star has confessed, saying the Mexican police were after him, Paul London, and Brian Kendrick.
Randy Orton spoke to Cody Rhodes on the latest episode of his What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast.
The WWE star apparently blew up quarter sticks of dynamite in the past when he got them in Tijuana while on tour with WWE.
"Federales were after me, Paul London, and Brian Kendrick, and we jumped in a taxi. Oh my God... They were quarter sticks of dynamite, and you could buy it there in Tijuana. I ditched the last stick under the bus that was taking us to the venue the next day."
He said that the police were after him and the two other stars, and they took a taxi to escape. They were still followed.
"We jumped in the taxi, and we were followed the entire time by the Federales. Paul London spoke a little bit of Spanish, and he was like, 'Guys, guys, the cops are following us.' He talked to the driver, and he's saying, "Take them here." I was dying. Looking back now, he could really have been ripping the hell out of me. But we ended up making it back," Orton said.

Randy Orton said that he got the dynamite back the next day
The next day, when Randy Orton was getting back on the bus, ready to appear at the event, he found the quarter stick he had ditched the previous day.
"The next day, we're loading the buses up. I look under the bus, the quarter stick is right there, and I'm like, save that for later. I think that's the one that blew up in the atrium of the hotel." (23:16 - 23:30)
While Randy Orton no longer blows up dynamite in lobbies, the star is still explosive in the ring. It remains to be seen if he can emerge with the title at Bash in Berlin.
