He’s an idol in the wrestling world as he has competed inside the squared circle for almost two decades, starting from 2002. By becoming a multi-time champion, he has earned the respect of fans as well as fellow WWE Superstars.

Without a doubt, Randy Orton is viewed as a proper locker-room leader who had experienced several WrestleMania moments. In one of those, he almost passed out.

Wyatt vs. Orton took place at Wrestlemania 33

Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt have been involved in various programs over the years, be it as friends or enemies. Their most recent feud featured himself and The Fiend alongside Alexa Bliss. It was one of the most popular storylines which began in the latter half of 2020 and continued until WrestleMania 37. Orton was the victor in the program and the same was the case in 2017, too.

That feud from a few years ago was considered to be one of the major feuds of that particular year leading up to a WrestleMania match. The entrance chosen for Randy Orton for that year’s Mania was an interesting one where a virtual snake followed him to the ring throughout the ramp. The Superstar has previously spoken about it and stated how the graphics looked like that a giant sperm was following him.
