His breakthrough was in 2000 at the Mid-Missouri Wrestling Association-Southern Illinois Conference Wrestling in St. Louis: his own father, “Cowboy“ Bob Orton trained him for this promotion. In this event, he competed with wrestlers like Ace Stranger and Mark Bland for a month. He also participated in the Ohio Valley Wrestling in 2001 with Rico Constantino and The Prototype where he continued his training. He won OVW twice before turning to professional wrestling. Later in 2001 he signed up with the World Wrestling Entertainment and began substantially raising his net worth.
In 2002 Orton made his first appearance in World Wrestling Federation at WrestleMania X8‘s Fan Axxess. There he was beaten by Tommy Dreamer. His first TV WWF match was in SmackDown! With Hardcore Holly and got a lot of fans from that. In September he was picked to perform in the Raw matches. There he defeated Stevie Richards in his first appearance. He soon earned the tag Moniker.
Orton started calling himself The Legend Killer being a talented newcommer to professional wrestling: he is well known for his disrespect of legendary old-timer wrestlers. These were not just empty words, since Randy managed to be the youngest wrestler to get hold of the World Heavyweight Championship at the age of 24.
Orton teamed up with Edge in 2006 to form Rated-RKO and they won the World Tag Team Championship. Randy was also part of team The Legacy consisting of him, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase, which lasted from 2008 to 2010. After that Randy returned to solo matches, and in 2009 won the Royal Rumble. These victories undoubtedly contributed to Randy Orton‘s net worth.
During Randy‘s career he has won eleven WWE championships, nine world championships, held the title of world heavyweight champion three times and won six WWE championships. All these impressive achievements have added considerably to Orton‘s net worth.
It‘s important to distinguish Orton‘s personal life from his career. For example, he is good friends with John Cena and John Hennigan, as opposed to their relationship on the ring. While he was acting to be proud that he injured Cena in their fight, in reality he visited Cena in the hospital andexpressed his sympathy.
Orton married Samantha Speno on September 21, 2007. They had a child on July 12 in 2008 and named here Alanna Marie Orton. Unfortunately, a daughter did not stop them from getting seperated in 2012 and divorcing in June of 2013.
