10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Randy Orton

10. He's Had Two Different Actresses Play His Wife (And Neither Were His Real Wive)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YW641y2BiJQ Orton was a married man from 2007 until 2013. He has a daughter with his ex-wife Samantha. For whatever reason, WWE decided to incorporate his wife into storylines although when they had his wife appear on screen they were actresses both times. In 2009 when Orton was a heel he was feuding with Triple H on the road to the WrestleMania 25 main event. Orton did some dirty deeds to Triple H's family, so Hunter showed up at Orton's "house" for revenge. When he showed up, Orton was there with his wife and the babyface Hunter even stalked her at one point. This was the infamous fight where Hunter threw Orton threw a window and then he was arrested by the cops only to avoid any charges even though it was all videotaped. Oh silly wrestling angles. In 2011 when Orton was a babyface he had a rivalry with CM Punk prior to WrestleMania 27. Orton traveled in a bus from town to town, so they incorporated that aspect of his life into a storyline as well. Instead of using his real wife, they brought in a different actress that was different than who they used two years earlier. Punk attacked Orton in the parking lot by the bus, left him lying and blew a kiss to Orton's wife in a taunting manner. Using local actresses to play his wife made a lot of sense, but now that he's not married at least they can avoid doing that if they decide to make a feud really personal again.
