Randy Orton 20 Years On: Every WWE Star Called Up In 2002
10. Randy Orton
Orton had only just turned 22 when he debuted on the 25 April 2002 edition of SmackDown. Mr McMahon took exception to the newcomer’s chemistry with his assistant Stacy Keibler and awarded him a match with Hardcore Holly.
Orton shocked the veteran with a victory in his first TV match and never looked back. Despite originally being positioned as a clean-cut babyface Orton made his greatest impact as a heel fans love to hate.
Now a veteran of the game, Orton boasts a Hall of Fame worthy career. His career accolades include fourteen World titles, two Royal Rumble victories, and more championships than he can probably recall. He also holds the records for the most matches ever on WWE pay-per-view, and the most matches on Raw.
