Surprised? You would think that the Viper would have a better record at WrestleMania, but at the end of the day, Randy Orton more often gets his comeuppance at Mania rather than dishing it out.

Orton was one of the Undertaker’s conquests at WrestleMania XXI and lost world title matches to Rey Mysterio at XXII and Triple H at XXV. However, Orton did defend his WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXIV and beat his former Legacy stablemates and toppled CM Punk in other Mania matches. More recently, he lost to the Shield in a six-man match at XXIX and lost his WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania XXX. And at XXXI, he defeated Seth Rollins before the Architect cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase to win the world title later that night.

At 37, it’s likely that Orton still has a couple high-profile WrestleMania matches left in him – including one this weekend. Expect to see that record drift a little closer to .500.
