Randy Orton is arguably one of the greatest heels of this current generation. He's such a good bad guy that a lot of pro-wrestling enthusiasts would choose to see him win in most cases and throughout his short stint as a roster member of the WWE, he's done exactly that. He is the grandson of the famed wrestler, Bob Orton Sr., the nephew of the wrestler, Barry O, and son of 'Cowboy' Bob Orton Jr. Now, Randy Orton is paving his own path as one of the WWE's greatest personalities of all-time.
At the tender age of 24, Randy became the youngest WWE Champion in the belt's history. At the age of 27, he became the youngest two-time WWE Champion. Since then, he's had a thirteen-time WWE and World Heavyweight Champion throughout his short stint in the WWE. Orton is also a one-time Intercontinental Champion, one-time United States Champion, and two-time Royal Rumble winner. In just over a decade, Randy Orton has proven he's going to make history, he just has to stay healthy and focused if he wishes to do so.
