Randy Orton has already won two Royal Rumble matches and in 2017 he was able to go on to win the WWE Championship.

The Viper has already declared entry into the men's Rumble match and could win his third match. Randy Orton could make history a number of times this weekend since the event is in his hometown.

As well as becoming only the second three-time winner, Orton could also break the overall ironman record. Chris Jericho currently holds the record with 4:59:33. Randy Orton is in second position with a time of 4:31:47. This means that Orton only has to remain in The Rumble for 28 minutes in order to break Y2J's record.

Rey Mysterio is in third place on the list with a time of 4:05:41 and will be part of the Rumble this weekend.

Orton is also edging closer to breaking Kane's overall Royal Rumble appearance record. The Viper has appeared in 13 matches so far in his career and this weekend will be his 14th.
