by Arindam PalDecember 4, 2021

WWE pay-per-view records set by Randy Orton and Natalya have recently been acknowledged by the Guinness Book of World Records. Currently the former is the reigning RAW Tag Team Champion with Riddle while the latter has been drafted on Smackdown from the red brand during Draft 2021.

As reported earlier, Randy Orton set a new record for the most WWE pay-per-view appearances by a male Superstar in WWE as he and Riddle defeated SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos at the WWE Survivor Series in a non-title Champions vs. Champion bout.

With this, Randy Orton now has 177 WWE pay-per-view matches by his name, breaking the previous record holder, WWE Hall of Famer Kane. Guinness then put out this record set by the legendary superstar with a post on their website.

It was also noted that Randy Orton is a Grand Slam champion (he’s won WWE Championship, United States Championship, Intercontinental Championship, and a WWE Tag Team Championship all at least once), won the Royal Rumble twice and also has won the Money in the Bank ladder match, once.

Two separate WrestleMania main events also belong to Randy Orton. The Apex Predator competed in the headliner of WrestleMania 25 against Triple H and WrestleMania 30 against Daniel Bryan and Batista in a Triple Threat.

The same article from Guinness also touted how Natalya has set the record for the most WWE pay-per-view appearances for a female Superstar with the count being 68. This has also been counted after Survivor Series 2021 where she represented Team SmackDown in the 5-on-5 Traditional Elimination Match at the PPV event, which was won by Team RAW.

Originally, Natalya set the record for most WWE pay-per-view appearances back in 2017, surpassing WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. At present, SmackDown Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair stands in the second position with 59 WWE pay-per-view appearances by her name.

WWE responded to the Guinness tweet with the two veterans from the male and female division, tagging Randy Orton and Natalya as the two of the greatest of all time. Guinness also noted how these two WWE records can be found on page 90 of their Guinness World Records 2022 book.

While Orton didn’t react to the news, Natalya responded to the tout and commented how she’s proud of her accomplishments,

“Thank you @GWR for recognizing this. Really proud of this. [folded hands emoji] #IronWoman.”
