On March 1, 2003, at a WWE live event, Orton and Dave Bautista (aka "Batista") teamed up to face the Dudley Boyz. This was famous for being a match that nearly no one walked away from unhurt. Batista tore his bicep, Orton broke his leg and Mark LoMonaco (aka "Bubba Ray Dudley") injured his back.

When he was in SmackDown, he used to travel with Brock Lesnar and John Cena. He travels with Dave Bautista (aka "Batista").

Due to his bicep muscle being torn off of his shoulder, he is expected to be out of action for about 4-5 months.

Right after WrestleMania XXI, he went into immediate surgery to repair his shoulder. This is his second shoulder surgery.

Former World Tag Team Champion.

Was awarded the WWE Championship on an Edition of "WWF Monday Night RAW" (1993) after Vince McMahon had stripped John Cena of the title due to injury. Orton is, as of November 5th 2007, the reigning WWE Champion and is set to face Shawn Michaels at Survivor Series.

Despite the fact that his on-screen character takes great pride in knowing he injured John Cena. In real life he was the first man to visit Cena after his surgery and he felt really guilty.

Despite it being very popular, Orton dislikes his entrance music "Burn In My Light" by Mercy Drive. He had switched to the song "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage (which was eventually given to C.M. Punk aka CM Punk) for one week before reverting back to "Burn In My Light" at the request of fans, who cited an incompatibility between the metal song and Orton. He has since started using the theme "Voices" by Rev Theory and still uses it as of this writing.

His daughter, Alanna Marie Orton, was born on July 12, 2008 at 9:24 PM. At birth, she was 8 pounds, 10 ounces, and 22.5 inches long.

After the disbandment of "Evolution", created stable "The Legacy" with himself as leader.

Many fans and critics alike are of the opinion that "The Age of Orton" ended in 2008, when Manu, Ted DiBiase Jr. and Rhodes teamed up under Orton.
