6 significant moments chronicling the infamous history between Kofi Kingston and Randy Orton

#3 Survival until defeat

What a performance at Survivor Series.

Following the seemingly career-making spot at Madison Square Garden, Kofi Kingston led his team of five against Randy Orton's squad in a Survivor Series elimination match. It would come down to Kofi on his own against Orton and CM Punk.

The babyface scored a huge victory by pinning both former World Champions within seconds of each other, sending him on the correct path to become a top-tier star in WWE. From the Boom Drop to becoming the sole survivor, Kofi Kingston just had the greatest week of his career.

The rivalry went on, with Orton and Kofi trading victories in the lead-up to the inaugural WWE TLC pay-per-view in December. A solid match at that show ended with the Viper getting the victory, despite a strong showing for Kofi.

The pair had one more match on the first Raw of 2010, this time with Orton's leadership of Legacy on the line. The Apex Predator won that match as well, but there would be one more incident between him and Kofi. One that would change the latter's career.
