You might remember one of the best stories to come out of this years Survivor Series event. Shane McMahon was injured during the 5 on 5 elimination match between RAW and Smackdown after a vicious mid-air spear from Roman Reigns. Some fans caught Randy Orton after the match breaking character in order to speak to Shane McMahon’s son (who was sitting at ringside).

Randy Orton was recently interviewed by CBS Sports where he spoke about the incident.

Why he broke character at WWE Survivor Series:

“I know what it’s like to be in his position and I know what it’s like to be in his family’s position, because I’ve been on both sides growing up in the business. Especially having my kids ringside when I’ve been hit a little too hard, maybe, if you know what I mean, or got a gash across the top of my head in a ladder match. I know that the kids worry. And I knew where they were sitting and I also knew that the match was gonna slow down to tend to Shane and make sure he was alright. So I just thought you know what? What better use of my time for the next 15 seconds than to go over there and talk to his kids and make sure they’re cool?”

What he told Shane’s family:

“I told them their dad was a champ and he was a tough dude, and he’s fine, and it’s just part of what we’re doing right now, kids. Don’t worry about it. And they smiled and the wife was happy, and everything was cool”
