The Legend Killer has been a heel (bad guy) for most of his career, but he always was and will be a fan favorite. WWE paid homage to Randy Orton and his impressive twenty years with the company.
Who else joined the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Randy Orton?
On Monday Night Raw, ‘The Original Bro’ Riddle left no stones unturned for his tag team partner, Orton. Riddle refreshed The Viper’s memory by calling out his former tag team partner of The Legacy stable.

Riddle invited the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes to celebrate Randy Orton’s twenty years. It was a pleasure to the eyes of the WWE Universe as they watched Cody Rhodes and Orton hug each other after years.

But, 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.

To top-notch the celebration of Orton, Ezekiel (younger brother of Elias) joined the party. Ezekiel walked up inside the ring to express his gratitude. Ezekiel shared that he and Elias used to watch Randy Orton wrestle when they were kids.

So, Kevin Owens cut short Elias’s speech during The Viper’s celebration. Even WWE SmackDown tag team champion The Usos made their presence at the party. So, it was up to a moment where eight men shared the ring to celebrate Orton’s legacy bizarrely.
Finally, WWE Official Adam Pearce entered the ring to announce that The Usos, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins will square off against RK-Bro, Cody Rhodes, and Ezekiel in a colossal 8-man tag team match on the main event of Raw.
