Randyorton:-Randal "Randy" Keith Orton[6][7] (born on April 1, 1980)[3] is an American professional wrestler signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). He is wrestling on its Raw brand; inactive though due to a broken collarbone.[8] Orton is a third-generation professional wrestler; his grandfather Bob Orton, Sr., father "Cowboy" Bob Orton (Robert Orton, Jr.), as well as his uncle Barry O (Randal Orton), all competed in the professional wrestling industry.[2][9]
Before being promoted to the main WWE roster, Orton trained in and wrestled for Mid-Missouri Wrestling Association-Southern Illinois Conference Wrestling for a month. He was then sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). There, Orton became OVW Hardcore Champion on two separate occasions.[10]
After signing with WWE, Orton became a member of the stable Evolution, which quickly led to his capture of the WWE Intercontinental Championship, his first title with the company.[11] Orton also acquired the moniker "Legend Killer" during a storyline where he began disrespecting Hall of Famers and physically attacking veterans of professional wrestling outside of appropriate restrictions.[1] In 2004, Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion, when he won the title at the age of twenty-four.[12] His title win resulted in his departure from Evolution and feud with his former stablemates. In 2006, Orton joined forces with Edge (Adam Copeland) in a tag team known as Rated-RKO. As a team, Orton and Edge held the World Tag Team Championship.[13] After the team disbanded, Orton, during the fall of 2007, won the WWE Championship twice in one night.[14]
