Then: Randy Orton broke fan hearts when he walked out holding the other MITB case (Sandow's was for a World Title shot, whereas Orton's guaranteed him a WWE Title tilt) and cashed in on Daniel Bryan. New champ Bryan had only held the belt for seconds before Triple H thumped with him a Pedigree and paved the way for Randy.

Now: One of WWE's longest-running stars is on the bench rehabbing a serious back injury that's been reported as career-threatening. He's been linked with a return several times this year, but hasn't been spotted on company TV since mid-2022.

Fingers crossed Orton makes a full recovery.
