He started with professional wrestling career at a very young age, at he has been active in the main roster of WWE since 2002, when he was only 22.
He got an early big boost when he got to team up with Triple H, Batista, and Ric Flair, and together they were famously known as the Evolution. During his early career, he mostly focused on the WWE Intercontinental Championship, and in 2004, he became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion. The record is still intact after 21 years.
David Otunga recently remembered sharing the ring with Randy Orton
Randy Orton went on to become one of the biggest names in WWE in the following years, but today he stands as a 14 times WWE World Champion. Former WWE star and a former WWE Tag Team Champion, David Otunga, recently remembered sharing the ring with the Viper and revealed his experience. Speaking on the “Inside The Ring” podcast, he explained the following;
Randy Orton has been active on the WWE main roster for the last 23 years
“Randy is one of the best guys. He might even be the best I’ve ever worked with in the ring, technically. Like, he’s such a natural, and everything is light but looks amazing. And, he’s cool to work with, and he was always super cool with me.
"But I was nervous because I wanted to put on a good performance, and I didn’t want to hurt him. I didn’t want to hit him too hard, cuz I was green and getting to work with Randy. That’s his reputation; if you stiff him or whatever, he’ll go off. He might go off on you in the middle of the match. He’s done that.”
He is rumoured to challenge for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42
“But, luckily, I was great. He always respected our matches. Like, we have that Miracle on the 34th Street match that’s a Christmas classic. It comes up every December, and that was important for me. I’m saying this, he trusted me to give me a Suplex like outside of the ring, on the floor. That’s legit cuz I really had to take care of him. So I was like, ‘Oh, it seemed like a little spot, but to me that was important.’ I was like, ‘All right, cool. I’m glad Randy trusted me, working with me, and we had fun.“
Randy Orton is presently active in WWE at 45, and he is still considered a main eventer. He is still in pretty excellent shape, and he is heavily rumoured to challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on the main event of WrestleMania 42. We can expect him to continue working in the ring for at least another 5 years.
