#2 Randy Orton targets John Cena Sr.

Anyone who has been following the WWE for the past decade knows for a fact that at one point in time, John Cena and Randy Orton were the company's two top guys who headlined almost every other pay-per-view and faced each other on any given occasion.

Cena and Orton's rivalry certainly had no limits and for anyone who's been following the two men since the prime of their careers, won't be strangers to John Cena Sr.

Cena's father has appeared on WWE TV on several occasions over the past 10-15 years. However, his inclusion in the initial storyline between Cena and Orton from 2007 remains a memorable one.

If you recall, Orton once decided to punch John Cena Sr. on live TV and dragged him out on the floor. With the majority of the WWE Universe thinking he was a fan, 'The Viper' decided to make things deeply personal between the two, as he hit Cena with his iconic Punt Kick.

To this date, Orton brutally attacking John Cena Sr. surely remains to be one of the most iconic moments in WWE TV history.
