“Whole Childhood Right There”: WWE Fans Get Emotional as Randy Orton Celebrates His 20th Anniversary on Raw

Monday Night Raw kicked off with the 20th-anniversary celebration of Randy Orton in the WWE. Randy Orton’s tag team partner, ‘The Original Bro’ Riddle, celebrated his legacy by presenting a WWE video package of Orton’s two-decade career. He then introduced the man of the hour to a hyped crowd in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The WWE Universe got to their feet when The Apex Predator’s theme song played and gave him a standing ovation. When The Viper entered the ring with the other half of team RK-Bro, the first thing he did was greet the fans.

The WWE Universe went down a memory lane!

Orton mentioned the fact that he was born in Knoxville, and it was an honor to celebrate his twenty years of legacy in his birthplace. Wrestling fans stormed the internet to share the moments of joy they shared with Orton.

“Thats my WHOLE childhood right there bruh,” @LykoXxx tweeted.

“Well deserved. The longevity is incredible. Man’s gonna end his career like Taker one day,” Yujuro mentioned.

When The Viper sat down to recollect his glorious years, he had the exact words to say. The Legend Killer asserted that his legacy would be that he will outlast The Undertaker‘s stellar three-decade career.

The Viper also thanked his fellow mates, John Cena, Triple H, The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, and Mick Foley for the incredible matches of his career.

Ethan Birkin tweeted, “Legend killer to legend Hunter and Ric knew this guy was going to be special when they picked him for legacy.“

“A decade ago randy orton got me into wrestling, can’t stop smiling at this moment, one of the all time greats,” Evan said.

The Legend Killer has been a heel (bad guy) for most of his career, but he always was and will be a fan favorite.

Who else joined the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Randy Orton?

On Monday Night Raw, ‘The Original Bro’ left no stones unturned for his tag team partner. Riddle refreshed The Viper’s memory by calling out his former tag team partner from The Legacy.

‘The American Nightmare Cody Rhodes came to the ring and embraced Randy Orton.

The celebration of The Legacy (Orton & Rhodes) was short-lived by Seth “Freakin” Rollins as he interrupted the brotherly reunion. The Visionary told Orton not to trust Cody Rhodes because tonight was all about the celebration of The Viper and not a ‘Rhodes’ moment.

Ezekiel (younger brother of Elias) emerged and entered the ring to express his gratitude. Ezekiel shared that he and Elias used to watch Randy Orton wrestle when they were kids.

These words prompted Kevin Owens to cut short Ezekiel’s speech during The Viper’s celebration. Even WWE SmackDown tag team champions, The Usos, marked their presence at the party of 8.
