Currently, a celebration is going on within the WWE for Randy Orton and this coming episode of WWE Raw will be a part of the program. WWE has announced a 20th Anniversary Celebration for one half of RAW Tag Team Champion Randy Orton for Monday’s show.
WWE Raw Tag Team Champion Randy Orton signed his actual WWE developmental deal in 2001. The official first appearance for the third generation superstar took place on March 16, 2002, at the WrestleMania X8 Fan Axxess, where he took a loss to Tommy Dreamer.
But Orton’s WWE TV debut happened on the April 25, 2002 edition of SmackDown, where he defeated Hardcore Holly. Thus, this coming April 25 WWE Raw episode will mark exactly 20 years since the veteran superstar made his official WWE TV appearance which calls for a celebration. There’s no update available on how WWE wants to celebrate this auspicious occasion.
