Likes: Randy Orton

Randy Orton debuted in the WWE in 2002 and quickly received a strong push from the creative team.
He was also a part of the famous faction called Evolution in WWE. This group consisted of Triple H, Randy Orton, Batista and Ric Flair.
Evolution lasted for some time before it was broken in 2005. By that time Randy Orton had become the youngest World Heavyweight Champion and Batista had also won the 2005 Royal Rumble match.
According to WhatCulture, Triple H and Ric Flair were the ones to elevate Orton and Batista's career in the WWE. HHH has always been like a mentor to The Viper and under his wings, The 13-time WWE Champion achieved a lot of big things in the WWE.
If these reports are true then it simply means that both superstars are friends of each other in real life.
