As previously reported, Randy Orton has signed a multi-year contract with WWE. Orton has now posted a tweet, stating that he will be with WWE for at least five more years.
Orton's WWE career so far...
Orton debuted on the main roster in 2002, as a part of possibly the greatest class of newcomers, that included the likes of John Cena, Brock Lesnar, and Batista. Orton faced Hardcore Holly in his debut match on SmackDown, and bagged a surprise win over the veteran. Soon, Orton became a part of Triple H's heel faction on Monday Night RAW - Evolution. Over the next year or so, Evolution reigned supreme over the Red brand, and Orton kept improving himself in the squared circle and on the mic. Following his exit from the stable, Orton went his own way and later challenged The Undertaker to a match at WrestleMania 21, in a losing effort. Orton went on to become multiple-time World Champion, and is a sure-fire first-ballot future Hall of Famer.
