Orton’s Royal Rumble win is his second. He moved on to the main event of WrestleMania in 2009 by being the last man standing in that Royal Rumble match, which came during the prime of his career and with the stable Legacy. Now he’s part of the Wyatt Family and moving into an interesting scenario where he could face John Cena, who won the WWE Championship. Bray Wyatt will likely lurk around the scene, however, so could we potentially get a triple threat?
