Randy Orton Age, Height, Weight, Wife, Net Worth In 2025

Randy Orton is a very renowned American professional wrestler who is currently signed with WWE. With his amazing in-ring psychology and durability, he is one of the biggest names in wrestling history. With 14 world championships under his belt, Orton has won almost every significant title in WWE and has many accolades to his name, including being one of the youngest world champions in history.

Born on April 1, 1980, in Knoxville, Tennessee, Orton has a wrestling pedigree. His father, WWE Hall of Famer "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr., and grandfather, Bob Orton Sr., were both pro wrestlers. Orton enlisted in the Marines after he graduated from high school in 1998, but that path didn't last long.

In 2000, he joined WWE’s developmental territory, Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he began honing his skills and captured the OVW Hardcore Championship twice. Orton made his official WWE main roster debut in 2002 on SmackDown, defeating Hardcore Holly. He later transitioned to RAW and suffered a shoulder injury, sidelining him temporarily.

On his return, Orton was part of the iconic group Evolution, along with Triple H, Ric Flair, and Batista. This was instrumental in achieving his stardom. Only 24 years old, he beat Chris Benoit at SummerSlam 2004 to become the youngest World Heavyweight Champion ever in WWE history.

Orton’s career includes memorable feuds with icons like The Undertaker and John Cena, the latter being one of WWE’s most storied rivalries. He also teamed up with Edge to form Rated RKO, a dominant tag team in the mid-2000s. Over the years, he evolved from “The Legend Killer” to “The Viper,” known for his brutal RKO finisher and calculating persona.

During his career, Orton has won the WWE Championship 10 times and the World Heavyweight Championship 4 times. He is also a Grand Slam and Triple Crown Champion and a two-time Royal Rumble winner (2009, 2017).

Off-camera, Randy Orton is married to Kimberly Kessler and lives in O'Fallon, Missouri. He has children from both marriages and is recovering from an injury to his back. With a net worth of $15 million and more than two decades in WWE, Orton is still a central part of professional wrestling.
