Ironically, in an inversion of their usual WWE feud dynamic, Orton was the face and Cena was the heel. These days, Orton is better known for his decade-long feud with John Cena - actually much longer, originating back when they were both scrappy upstarts in OVW. After the team disbanded, Orton won the WWE Championship twice in one night in mid-2007 (said title changes being the only time that title changed hands that year). Together, Orton and Edge held the World Tag Team Championship. In 2006, Orton joined forces with Edge in a tag team known as.er, Rated-RKO. This win resulted in his departure from Evolution and a feud with his former stablemates.
In 2004, Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion when he won the title at the age of twenty-four (defeating Chris Benoit). There, Orton held the OVW Hardcore Championship on two separate occasions.Īfter signing with WWE, Orton became a member of the stable Evolution, where he acquired the moniker " The Legend Killer": an unstoppable golem of a man who physically targeted Hall of Famers and other veterans of the industry, usually outside of appropriate restrictions. He was then sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).
