Ranking Randy Orton’s 10 greatest WrestleMania matches

#1 Batista & Daniel Bryan – WrestleMania 30

The Miracle on Bourbon Street

This may not be the number one match based on Randy Orton’s in-ring performance, but when it comes to the actual story, this was absolutely perfect.

From SummerSlam 2013 all the way through to New Orleans, the heelish Orton had made Daniel Bryan’s life a living hell. He beat him countless times for the title via shenanigans, attacked him backstage, and even humiliated him with a Money in the Bank cash-in. This was all leading up to Bryan finally getting his revenge, and he finally did so in the main event of WrestleMania 30.

They built the drama of the match up perfectly, and the look of despair on Orton’s face when he sees Bryan submitting Batista is Oscar-worthy.

You may not like him, but you have to admit that Orton knows how to bring it when it matters most.
