12 Wrestlers Who Suffered The Most From WWE WrestleMania 36
9. Randy Orton
The "suffering" here is kayfabe, not shoot. Randy Orton is bulletproof. He is inevitable. As one of the most decorated wrestlers in company history, no one match result, angle, or programme is damaging enough to dent his armour in any meaningful way and it'd take an endless bombardment of all three to even wobble him from his lofty perch. Think five full calendar years of his 2017 Bray Wyatt feud here.
So no, Randy Orton, the performer, hasn't been "ruined" by losing to Edge. It was the right thing to do and the only way the storyline could've conceivably ended after the hell the villain had put the babyface through. Randy Orton the character, however, has rarely been lower.
After turning on Edge, sandwiching his skull between two steel chairs, putting hands on his wife, and vowing to put Adam Copeland out of wrestling for good, Orton was hoisted with his own petard. Edge's Con-Chair-To atop a production truck spelt the end of their torturous brawl. It isn't not like 'The Viper' to show shame, but he has a whole lot to shake off upon returning to TV.
