WWE Royal Rumble 2011 Roster: Where Are They Now?
2. Randy Orton
Then: Just look at Randy Orton's chiselled good looks on the left there - he might've had a coronary on the spot if he thought that flesh would be chargrilled (even in storyline) like it has been in 2020-2021. Back in 2011, Orton lost his WWE Title challenge to The Miz then worked another eight minutes in the Rumble.
Del Rio tossed him out.
Now: Randy remains one of WWE's biggest stars. In fact, now that John Cena is playing movie star more than wrestler and others like The Undertaker have retired, Orton is the elder statesman of the full-time locker room.
He'll play a major role in the 2021 Rumble.
