14 WWE Wrestlers With The Longest Gaps Between Title Reigns

14. Randy Orton - 6 Years, Eight Months (2,424 Days)

Randy Orton’s first World Heavyweight Title reign came - like the RKO he executed to defeat Chris Benoit - outta nowhere. It went just as fast; Orton was beaten by Triple H for the title just a month later in September 2004. Orton wouldn’t win another world title for another four years, and it was the WWE Title, not the World Heavyweight Championship.

Orton wouldn’t win that title back until early May 2011. Though he cut short Christian’s long-awaited world title run (Captain Charisma having won the title two nights earlier),
 he set the record for the longest period between two WHC reigns. Randy’s second title run had him literally jumping for joy!
