Randy Orton could continue to build on an impressive record this year at Survivor Series

Randy Orton has been a survivor at Survivor Series more times than any other person in WWE history. Back in 2003, 2004 and 2005, The Viper was consecutively the sole survivor for his team, he was then one of the survivors alongside Cody Rhodes back in 2008 and alongside Bray Wyatt last year when the duo secured the win for SmackDown Live.

Orton has missed a number of elimination matches over the past few years but still manages to retain the record for being a survivor more times than anyone else in history.

Orton has already won the right to be on the Survivor Series team for SmackDown Live once again this year after he defeated Sami Zayn a few weeks ago and it will be interesting to see if he can continue his record at the event.

Orton's three consecutive wins for his team as the sole survivor can only be matched by The Ultimate Warrior, but no one aside from The Viper has ever been able to survive the elimination match five times.
