#1. Randy Orton - Benefited from his association with Triple H
Randy Orton and Triple H have a history that dates back to 2003. At the time, Orton was still a young upstart in WWE, but even then, he seemed destined for greatness.
Early in his career, he joined Evolution alongside Triple H, Batista, and Ric Flair. This role instantly helped him catapult into top-tier superstardom. While Orton was going to the original beneficiary of the Evolution storyline, his first World Championship reign didn't pan out as expected. As a result, WWE chose a slightly longer route with The Viper.

Orton would eventually had his breakthrough, and he became a true main-eventer in 2007. 14 World Championships, two WrestleMania main events, and a Grand Slam list of accolades later, Orton is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.
Even at the advanced age of 41, he has shown no signs of slowing down, either. It's fair to wonder how much more Orton can continue to accomplish in WWE. For example, The Viper can potentially surpass The Game's number of world title wins. The two stars are tied at 14, but because Orton remains active, he might win another championship at some point.
The Game has played a vital role in Orton's story, and there's no doubt that he has greatly influenced The Viper's career.
