5 current WWE Superstars who overcame addiction

#3. Former WWE Champion Randy Orton

Randy Orton has been part of WWE for more than two decades, but in that time the former 14-time World Champion has had a few struggles.

In Orton's earlier career, many former stars have spoken out about the fact that The Viper was a very different person. The Legend Killer has since matured and has talked openly about many of the regrets that he had about his earlier career.

Back in 2006, Orton suffered an overdose that almost cost him his life. This was the start of a downfall for Orton which led to several suspensions from the company before The Viper got his life back on track.

Orton voluntarily entered a Drug Rehabilitation Center following a rotator cuff injury back in 2015 and has since turned over a new leaf. Orton has become one of the company's biggest stars in recent years and has even began taking younger stars under his wing in WWE. He has also since married Kim Kessler and welcomed a second daughter called Brooklyn Rose in 2016.
