What sets Randy Orton apart from the rest of the crowd in WWE are his achievements in the ring. We all know how many Championships John Cena, Ric Flair, and Triple H have amassed during their career, but the way Orton has done it puts him in unique company.

The 13-time World Champion has 9 WWE Championship and 4 World Heavyweight Championships to his name. At age 24, he became the youngest world champion in WWE history after he won the World Heavyweight Championship from Chris Benoit.

He’s held the titles for over 800 days combined, which makes up for more than ten percent of his career! The Viper was the final holder of the World Heavyweight Championship, which he unified with the WWE Championship to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, defeating John Cena at TLC in 2013.

Orton mainly won the titles as a heel, which makes him a different kind of Champion to many in WWE's history. Only a handful of times has Orton claimed a championship as a face, with fans often preferring The Viper when he plays the heel role.

Apart from World Championship victories, Orton has won the Tag Team Championships, United States Championship, and Intercontinental Championship at least once. In addition, he has won the Royal Rumble twice and the Money in the Bank Ladder match.

By comparison, John Cena never won the Intercontinental Championship, while Flair and Triple H never got their hands on the Money in the Bank briefcase during their careers.
