Randy Orton is one of the most talented WWE superstars. He won the title of the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in 2004 during the SummerSlam event of WWE. He is a legendary wrestler and has challenged many legends of World Wrestling Entertainment. He is known as the legend killer of WWE because he had defeated many legendary wrestlers just when he joined wrestling entertainment. To achieve success and to win the title of WWE Champion very quickly, he challenged most of the rising superstars of WWE.

Here we will discuss some feuds with the legendary wrestlers who have been challenged for a match by Randy Orton.

Shawn Michaels

Shawn Michaels was a very famous WWE wrestler of his time. He retired from World Wrestling Entertainment and started his career in wrestling when it was the World Wrestling Federation. He was the most stylish and fashionable wrestler of his time. Along with his style, he was also famous for his finishing moves and dancing skills. Randy Orton was involved in the match with Shawn Michaels in 2003 for the first time. It was Orton’s first high profile one-on-one single match. However, Orton did not fairly win the match because Ric Flair helped Orton to win that match. When Shawn and Orton met for the second time, Orton again won the match, this time with the help of Batista. No matter how Orton managed to win the match but the reality is, he won both the matches with Shawn Michaels.

Rob Van Dam And The Intercontinental Championship

Randy Orton won the title of Intercontinental Champion in a fight with Rob Van Dam (RVD) at Armageddon. RVD was the Intercontinental Champion before his match with Randy Orton. Orton set an example for the upcoming young wrestlers, how to get success by hard work, and in less time. Orton is the only wrestler to hold the title of Intercontinental Championship for the longest time of 210 days. Orton also had matches with Edge and Benjamin over the title of the Intercontinental Championship.

Mick Foley

The feud between Foley and Orton started because of a match of Raw. Orton jumped on Foley along with Ric Flair, and that was the time when the disputes between Orton and Foley started. Foley decided to quit WWE after Ric Flair became the co-general manager of the Raw. Orton wanted to defeat Foley in a match, but Foley wanted to quit WWE, so Orton called him a coward. After a year, Foley returned to the Royal Rumble, but they could not have a match there. They had a match later in WrestleMania 20 where Orton finally defeated Foley and won his first WrestleMania match.

The Undertaker

The Undertaker, a very famous wrestler of WWE, also known as ‘The Dead Man,’ it is because of his so many deaths. Randy Orton lost the match with Triple H at the Royal Rumble. After that, he challenged the legendary Undertaker for an event at WrestleMania 21. Orton’s father Bob Orton also had feuds with The Undertaker, and for that rivalry, Orton challenged The Dead Man for a match. Somehow this match could not take place. Later, Orton and The Undertaker had a match in Hell in a Cell match at Armageddon. However, Orton was not able to win that match with Undertaker.

Michaels, Van Dam, And Dusty Rhodes

Randy Orton had fought with most of the legendary wrestlers of WWE in the year 2007. He had a match with Rob Van Dam, Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Triple H, and many more legendary wrestlers. After that, Orton challenged John Cena for a SummerSlam match but failed to win against John Cena. Orton also had feuds with Dusty Rhodes and won twice in the regular matches of Raw.

The Legend of Korra to Be Made Available on Netflix From August 2020

Avatar: The Last Airbender received tremendous success when it made its comeback to Netflix in 2019. Now, Nickelodeon’s The Legend of Korra, which is a derivation on Avatar, has made its way to Netflix as well. The American fans find it very convenient now that they will be able to stream both the shows on the same platform from August 14, 2020. The Legend of Korra is a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender and aired on Nickelodeon premiering in 2012 and running for the next two years.

The show depicts the life and story of Aang, next in line to Avatar, and consistently receives commendation for the fact that it pushes social bounds. The show is known to present sensitive topics like the LGBTQ+ community with utmost grace and maturity, despite being a kids’ cartoon show. The Legend of Korra may have been an essential part of ViacomCBS, but it might turn out to be a bigger deal for Netflix. Avatar: The Last Airbender was an immediate hit as soon it appeared on Netflix and continues to be among the most streamed shows as per trends.

Social media platforms like Instagram have also acknowledged the fans’ love for the show by introducing Avatar filters on their apps. People who were recently made aware of the show jumped in and binged on the show, precisely what the long-time fans did as well. Worldwide quarantine and a lot of time to kill was also a motivating factor for people to acquaint themselves with the famous anime show. This popularity of the show may ensure a warm welcome for The Legend of Korra on the platform.

But all the people are confused regarding why would ViacomCBS part ways with The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender if they are such big hits and successes? The simple answer is that ViacomCBS has its streaming platform by the name CBS All Access that also has the license to stream the anime shows. ViacomCBS has managed to retain an awesome IP like WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal. The best part about this deal between Netflix and ViacomCBS is that even if the show had to be taken down from ViacomCBS, they could have earned from Netflix’s contract and stream on its own platform once the license lapsed. That is the primary benefit of time-bound commitments.
