Since his debut at the showcase of the immortals in 2004, Randy Orton has been a WrestleMania constant for almost his entire career, having not missed an instalment in over a decade. At WrestleMania 21, the highest grossing 'Mania up to that point, he competed in a marquee match against The Undertaker before contending for the World Heavyweight Championship the following year, both in losing efforts. In 2008 and 2009, respectively, Orton graced the showcase when he battled for the WWE Championship: winning a Triple Threat at WrestleMania 24 before losing to Triple H at the subsequent event. Both shows grossed around one million pay-per-view buys each, solidifying his drawing power as a top-tier talent. While he wasn't a major factor at 'Mania from 2010 to 2013, he returned to prominence just in time for the 30th anniversary, defending his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event against Daniel Bryan and Batista. And he remains a mainstay at 'Mania.
