**Randal Keith Orton** (born April 1, 1980) is an American professional wrestler and actor currently an active member of the WSC Roster under his real name **Randy Orton** and is one-half of RK-Bro along with Matt Riddle.

### Debut (2019)

Orton made his WSC debut in the 2019 Royal Rumble at #18 with an RKO at Jeff Hardy. Followed up with an RKO to Edge, Adam Cole, Sabu, and Abyss. Orton tried to take down The Fiend, but was unsuccessful and eventually got eliminated by Roman Reigns.

### Title Shots (2020)

Orton then appeared in the 40-Man Battle Royal for a spot in the April 2020 Royal Rumble, but failed. Orton next showed up in a Fatal 4 Way Match for the WSC Hardcore Championship along with Jeff Hardy, Abyss, and champion Aleister Black. Sadly, Orton was the one who got pinned by Hardy.

### RK-Bro (2021)

Orton returned in the 2021 Royal Rumble at #29, taking down everyone. Then Orton comes face to face with Riddle, and even Nathan states that they took a liking to each other backstage. And so, the two formed "RK-Bro". RK-Bro successfully eliminates D-Generation X. Unexpectedly, Seth Rollins throws Orton over. Riddle tries to Final Flash Rollins, but Seth ducked and Randy got hit with the knee, eliminating him. Riddle then was eventually got eliminated by Rollins, also.

### Tag Team Championship Opportunity (2022)

Orton then appeared in the WSC Pool Rumble at #15 with an RKO to The Big Show, but got knocked-out by Show regardless. When Orton regained consciousnesses, Orton got up and eliminated Show and Umaga at the same time. Unfortunately, Orton later got eliminated by Dean Ambrose. Orton's next appearance came in the Toilet Match in a backstage segment. Orton comes around the corner and Riddle goes on a tangent about how he met Tibbles, whom turned into Toxin seconds before. Orton then replies that Riddle is trippin' and he needs to "lay off the mushrooms".

RK-Bro officially had their in-ring debut in the 2022 Tag Team Elimination Chamber Match against The Usos, The Young Bucks, The Brawling Brutes, Brothers of Destruction, and The Street Profits. RK-Bro was doing pretty well for themselves, as they eliminated Brawling Brutes and The Young Bucks, but Unfortunately, Jimmy Uso pinned Riddle to win. Luckily, it was announced that RK-Bro would be facing against The Usos, D-Generation X, and Darby Allin and Willow the Wisp at WrestleMania.

### WSC WrestleMania and WSC No Mercy (2023)

On January 2, Nathan announced the date of the WrestleMania match on January 8, which was the first WSC match of 2023. The match begins with each team jumping each other. Not 20 seconds into the match and Randy Orton decides to attempt and break Shawn Michaels's back, as he lunges Michaels into the edge of the announcer's table. Matt Riddle (FKA Riddle) then follows with a Floating Bro to D-X, followed by The Usos performing a Suicide Dive to the two teams, followed by Willow the Wisp performing a Whisper in the Wind to everybody below. Eventually, The Usos end up winning by performing a Double 1-D to Riddle and Darby Allin (with interference by Solo Sikoa).

Orton would then show up in the 2023 Royal Rumble at #30 like a freight train, eliminating Kenny Omega and Ricochet, before sadly getting eliminated by the #1 entrant Austin Theory, a soon-to-be rival. A few months later, Nathan announces that Orton will face against Daniel Bryan, Theory, and Omega in a Fatal 4 Way match with the winner becoming the #1 Contender for the now called WSC World Hardcore Championship. By the end of the match, it looked like Theory was about to win and finally get a title opportunity after hitting the A-Town Down on Orton. Then Mick Foley was seen passing a chair to Theory to top it off. But when Theory turned around he was met with an RKO. Orton went for the pin and won the match, making him the #1 Contender for the WSC World Hardcore Championship from champion Cody Rhodes.

### Personal Life

Orton married Samantha Speno on September 21, 2007. The couple had a daughter together. They separated in late 2012 and divorced in June 2013. On November 14, 2015, Orton married Kimberly Kessler, who was previously a member of his fan club. The couple have a daughter together (Orton's second child). They reside in St. Charles, Missouri.

Orton suffers from hypermobility in both of his shoulders, which has been the cause of nearly all of his injuries throughout his career, sidelining him through incidents ranging from performing one of his signature taunts during a match to innocuous things such as taking out the trash at home.
