He is the nephew of professional wrestler Barry Orton and the grandson of wrestler Bob Orton Jr. He has a younger sister named Becky Orton and a stand-up comedian brother named Nathan Orton. The name of one of his brothers is Roderick Orton.
His father warned him that a life in the ring would include travel and separation from family. His parents tried to dissuade him from becoming a professional wrestler since they were aware of the hardships involved. Randy Orton wrestled as an amateur while attending Hazelwood Central High School.
Career
After earning his diploma in 1998, Randy Orton enlisted in the Marines. In 1999, he was discharged from the base for disobeying a superior officer’s order and twice going AWOL. He served 38 days in the Camp Pendleton brig after being found guilty in a special court-martial under the Uniform Code of Military Law.
He formerly had a tattoo of a Marine on his left arm, but he covered it up after receiving a bad conduct discharge. In 2000, he made his professional wrestling debut. Randy Orton signed a deal with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 2001. He competed against notable entertainers such as John Cena and Ricochet.
At this time, Randy Orton, who performed largely in tag team matches, won the OVW Hardcore Championship twice. RKO, a jumping cutter with his initials that eventually became his signature finisher, was the move that first garnered him attention. After defeating Chris Benoit in July 2004, he won the World Heavyweight Championship for the first time.
Later, after multiple successful defenses, he was defeated by Triple H. At the 2007 No Mercy wrestling event, Randy Orton was awarded the WWE Championship for the first time after John Cena relinquished the belt due to injury. He has won the competition a total of nine times. In 2011, he successfully won the World Heavyweight Championship for the second time after defeating Christian.
