Randy Orton's six-year marriage to Samantha Speno was deemed "irretreviably broken" in 2013, and the two divorced. Of course, those aware of Orton's reported history of misdeeds in WWE would likely be aware that Orton being married would seem like the most concerning of ideas, possibly ever. Rumored to be quite the ladies' man prior to being married, is it possible that his salacious ways continued while he and Spero were together? The split was handled amicably, and many of Orton's WWE co-workers oftentimes mention that the Orton known for his once rambunctious ways is a changed man in the current era. Likely now single, the stress and pressure of maintaining a home life with a daughter while at the same time leading a life of significant carousing on the road could be linked to his relaxed behavior. In the settlement, it was learned that Orton earns $300,000 as a base salary per year in WWE, and that Speno was given a bank account worth $650,000 and $4,500 per month in child support for their daughter Alanna.
