Everyone knows that Randy Orton loves a bit of light-hearted trolling.

The new WWE Champion, who won the belt from Drew McIntyre at Hell In A Cell this past Sunday, couldn't resist having a fun dig at old Evolution stablemate Batista on his official Instagram page. It was classic Randy.

Shortly after bagging his 14th World Title on the pay-per-view, Orton lifted a graphic from BT Sport's WWE team that put over how dominant the faction's members have been. In total, Evolution now has 50 different World Title reigns between Orton, Triple H, Ric Flair and Batista.

Randy and Trips have 14, Flair has 16 and Batista has 6.

Orton roasted big Dave by captioning his post with, "#legends...and an actor". That was clearly designed to rib Batista - he's the only one of the quartet who has left wrestling behind to chase his dreams in Hollywood (and been quite successful at it).

New WWE Champ Randy must've been laughing his ass off as he put the post up. No doubt he received one of those middle finger emojis via text from a certain 'Animal' hours later.
