Randall  Keith  "Randy"  Orton  :  (born  April  1,  1980)]  is  an  American  professional  wrestler  and  actor  currently  signed  to  WWE.  He  is  a  12-time  world  champion,  holding  the  WWE  Championship  eight  times  and  the  World  Heavyweight  Championship  four  times,  and  was  the  final  holder  of  the  World  Heavyweight  Championship  before  it  was  unified  with  the  WWE  Championship  to  create  the  WWE  World  Heavyweight  Championship.

Orton  is  a  third-generation  professional  wrestler;  his  grandfather  Bob  Orton,  Sr.,  his  father  "Cowboy"  Bob  Orton,  and  his  uncle  Barry  Orton  all  competed  in  the  professional  wrestling  business.Before  being  promoted  to  the  main  World  Wrestling  Federation  (WWF,  now  WWE)  roster,  Orton  trained  in  and  wrestled  for  Mid-Missouri  Wrestling  Association-Southern  Illinois  Conference  Wrestling  for  a  month.  He  was  then  sent  to  Ohio  Valley  Wrestling  (OVW),  where  he  held  the  OVW  Hardcore  Championship  twice.

After  signing  with  WWF,  Orton  became  a  member  of  the  stable  Evolution,  which  quickly  led  to  a  WWE  Intercontinental  Championship  reign,  his  first  title  with  the  company.  He  also  acquired  the  moniker  "The  Legend  Killer"  during  a  storyline  where  he  began  disrespecting  and  then  physically  attacking  WWE  Hall  of  Famers  and  wrestling  veterans.  At  age  24,  he  became  the  youngest  person  ever  to  hold  the  World  Heavyweight  Championship.[13]  With  this  win,  he  departed  from  Evolution  and  a  feud  with  his  former  stablemates  began.  In  2006,  Orton  joined  forces  with  Edge  in  a  tag  team  known  as  Rated-RKO.  Together,  they  held  the  World  Tag  Team  Championship.

After  Rated-RKO  disbanded  in  mid-2007,  Orton  gained  two  WWE  Championship  reigns  in  one  night.  He  formed  the  group  The  Legacy  with  Cody  Rhodes  and  Ted  DiBiase  in  2008.  It  disbanded  in  2010  and  Orton  returned  to  singles  competition.  In  2013  he  aligned  with  The  Authority,  who  named  him  the  "face  of  the  WWE".  Overall,  he  has  won  14  total  championships  in  WWE.  He  is  also  the  winner  of  the  2009  Royal  Rumble  match  and  has  headlined  many  pay-per-view  events  for  the  organization,  including  WrestleMania  XXV  and  WrestleMania  XXX.

Early  life  :  Orton  was  born  in  Knoxville,  Tennessee,  the  son  of  Bob  Orton,  Jr.  and  his  wife  Elaine.  He  is  the  grandson  of  Bob  Orton,  Sr.  and  the  nephew  of  wrestler-turned-musician  Barry  Orton.  He  has  two  younger  siblings,  Nate  and  Rebecca  and  an  adopted  brother  named  Roderick.  Knowing  from  experience  the  hardships  of  life  as  a  professional  wrestler,  Orton's  parents  tried  to  convince  him  to  stay  away  from  the  business,  and  his  father  warned  him  that  life  in  the  ring  meant  a  life  on  the  road  and  away  from  family.  Orton  attended  Hazelwood  Central  High  School,  where  he  was  an  amateur  wrestler
