#1 Randy Orton

Surprise, surprise
Surprise, surprise

Last, but not least, we have Randy Orton. The Viper is regarded as one of the best heels in the business and he is one of the most decorated champions in WWE history. The third-generation Superstar holds the record for being the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in the company and he has also main evented WWE WrestleMania twice.

Although his father and grandfather both worked in the wrestling business, Orton chose to join the U.S. Marine Corps after his graduation. However, his time in the military didn't work out as he was discharged due to bad conduct. Orton then decided to follow in his father's footsteps by becoming a professional wrestler.

The Viper currently competes on Monday Night RAW as a heel. Randy Orton has also been a part of a few dominant groups in WWE such as Evolution, The Legacy, The Authority and The Wyatt Family.

Outside of wrestling, Randy Orton has also starred in two action movies; 12 Rounds 2: Reloaded and The Condemned 2. The Viper is definitely a future WWE Hall of Famer.
