Add it to the list. There are some wrestlers who have been in WWE for so long that they are running out of things to accomplish. It can even become difficult to figure out new things for them to add to their resumes because they have done so much already. That is the case for a few current WWE stars, but now one of the biggest legends in company history is doing something no one has ever done before.
Randy Orton is scheduled to defend the Raw Tag Team Titles with Riddle against the Street Profits and Alpha Academy in a triple threat match at WrestleMania 38. This will mark the first time that Orton has entered WrestleMania as a Tag Team Champion, which puts him in a class by himself. According to Fact5Wrestling, Orton will be the first wrestler in WWE history to enter WrestleMania as a WWE Champion, a World Heavyweight Champion, an Intercontinental Champion, a United States Champion and a Tag Team Champion. Orton made his WrestleMania debut at WrestleMania 20 when he was the Intercontinental Champion.

Opinion: I love factoids like this as they are the kind of things that people come across through research and luck most of the time. Orton has been around WWE for so long now that he is accomplishing long term career deals like this. It might not mean anything important, but it says a lot given how much success he has to have to do everything on the list.
What do you think of the accomplishment? How will Orton’s match at WrestleMania go? Let us know in the comments below.
