Early Life
Randel Orton was brought to this world in Knoxville Tennessee, on the 1st of April 1980 as the eldest among three kids. Bob Orton Jr. his father was a professional wrestler while his mother Elaine his mum was a nurse.

During his recovery, he made an appearance on the “Randy News Network,” which was broadcast in between other Raw segments. As a result, his personality eventually developed into an egotistical villain in the WWE storyline.
After fully recovering, Orton began referring to himself as “The Legend Killer,” and his entire act consisted of him portraying as though he were a young bigshot who was taking the wrestling world by storm.
He frequently insulted seasoned wrestlers in order to instigate feuds with them. This would lead to one of his most well-known matches against Shawn Michaels.
Randy Orton developed the “RKO” around this time, a jumping cutter move that bears his initials and has grown to be one of his most recognizable moves. Randy won the Intercontinental Championship at Armageddon in December 2003 by defeating Rob Van Dam.
