The original 7 members of WWE's Authority: Where are they now?

#5 Randy Orton was one of the first members of WWE's Authority

Randy Orton is perhaps one of the most memorable members of The Authority since The Viper went on to win the WWE Championship thanks to the group.

The former 13-time World Champion was part of the group the night that The Authority was formed and remained a member until he turned on Seth Rollins more than a year later.

Orton then rejoined for a number of weeks in 2015, but this was just a ruse in order for him to get one up on Rollins in their deeply personal feud.

Randy Orton is still an integral part of WWE TV more than seven years after The Authority was formed. At present, he is in the WWE Championship picture but recently came up short in his quest for his 14th World Championship at Clash of Champions.

The Viper has been part of the company at the highest level for almost two decades and has won the Royal Rumble twice, Money in the Bank and is a Grand Slam Champion.
