Randy Orton recently surprised the wrestling world by sporting a new goatee-look on the latest episode of Raw and even used Matt Riddle’s finisher ‘Bro Derek’ to seal a victory on the show. Fans are excited for this new partnership angle for him and we may even see the two capture Tag Team gold soon.
With Hell in a Cell approaching soon, we will undoubtedly see Randy Orton and Riddle challenge AJ Styles and Omos for the Raw Tag Team Championship. If this happens, ‘The Viper’ will reach another milestone in his illustrious career.
Orton already holds the record for most appearances on Raw, surpassing Chris Jericho for that position but is in for yet another record should he participate at Hell in a Cell. This would be the running for most WWE Pay Per View appearances of all time, a record held by Kane.

Over their long careers spanning decades, Taker and Kane accumulated several high-profile matches and stayed relevant in the business, unlike other Superstars that fade away after their time in the spotlight.
