When it comes to nicknames, former World Champion Randy Orton has had some of the greatest throughout his WWE career. The Legend Killer came out when Orton was taking out the legends in the company and making a name for himself. This was later replaced with The Viper since Orton was seen as a snake-like character who would stab anyone in the back in order to get ahead.
Born out of this was the name The Apex Predator, which came from the fact that Orton would do anything to reach the top. The apex is the top point of a triangle. Orton being a former 14-time World Champion is proof that he knows where that apex is and has been able to make it there several times.

The Viper has been part of WWE now for almost two decades and is currently part of the creatively named RK-Bro tag team alongside 'The Original Bro' Matt Riddle on RAW.
