Stephanie McMahon shared a picture from Orton’s early days when he held the gold title for the first time at SummerSlam 2004. Billion Dollar Princess could not believe The Apex Predator had come a long way since his first victory to become a World Champion. Orton looked pretty emotional in the picture, while Billion Dollar Princess comforted him.
When did The Viper become the World Champion for the first time?
The Apex Predator squared off against late Chris Benoit at SummerSlam 2004. This night was the biggest in the history of WWE because Orton was pushed as ‘Chosen One’ for the World title. So, the question was, will Randy Orton become the youngest World Heavyweight Champion of all time?
The answer is yes! The Viper showed the WWE Universe why he was the ‘Chosen One’ by the company. Benoit attempted a “Crippler Crossface” maneuver on young Orton towards the end of the match.
However, Randy Orton escaped and performed the most three-letter destructive finisher, “RKO,” on Chris Benoit.
After defeating Benoit via pinfall, Orton became the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history. The Legend Killer had an emotional outburst when he met Stephanie McMahon backstage at SummerSlam in 2004. This is where the picture was taken when Orton was seen crying, and Billion Dollar Princess told him to enjoy the happy tears.
Since his first World Championship, Randy Orton won the World title for 14-times over the next 20 years. ‘The Billion Dollar Princess’ Stephanie McMahon truly appreciated Orton’s accolades.
