Randy Orton, apart from being one of the biggest superstars is also a valuable asset to the WWE universe. From being remembered as a babyface not too long ago, he has risen to greater heights in being recognised as a top star, superstar and megastar, and the face of the company, it has been a long journey for 'The Viper'. Randy Orton, who is a third-generation superstar is a 13-time world champion. He is the youngest World Heavyweight Champion after having won the title at the age of 24. In fact, Orton was the last wrestler to hold the now-defunct World Heavyweight Championship by defeating John Cena. Meanwhile, it seems that Randy Orton has other ideas in the coming year which also marks the beginning of the new decade.
