Randy Orton is in the prime of his career and ain’t no one that can tell the man otherwise. Orton made his WWE in-ring debut this very day exactly 20 years ago when he defeated Hardcore Holly on SmackDown.
The 14-time world champion took to Twitter ahead of his 20th anniversary in pro wrestling. Orton said it feels “weird” to celebrate his career but he’s humbled by all the congratulatory messages.
Feels weird to “celebrate” myself, but throughout the week I’ve read your messages and posts and am truly humbled. A wild 20-year ride with much, much more to come. #WWERaw#OrtonWeek
WWE will celebrate Orton’s 20 years in the industry tonight on RAW. The company has been running #OrtonWeek throughout the past week on Twitter. Orton also sat with WWE’s social media team to react to his greatest moments.
Orton is arguably the most consistent performer out of OVW’s legendary four, the other three being Brock Lesnar, Batista and John Cena. He is widely regarded as one of the best wrestlers in the world today. What’s your favorite moment from Orton’s legendary career?
