As a 14-time world champion, there’s no doubt that Randy Orton will be a WWE Hall of Famer in the future. He’s also a 2-time Royal Rumble winner and a former IC and US Champion. However, despite all these accomplishments, there is one feather that has so far been missing from Orton’s cap – a singles victory over Roman Reigns.

The closest Orton has come to beating Reigns are three draws the two have had - one in 2013, the second in 2014 and another in 2015.

Orton and Reigns faced off in a number of singles matches in 2014 – both televised and in Live Events – with Reigns beating Orton on every occasion. The most significant of these wins came when the Big Dog and The Viper met at WWE SummerSlam 2014. Orton looked like he had Reigns in place to hit him with The Punt, only for Reigns to sidestep him and hit The Viper with his patented Spear.

Orton and Reigns are both on the SmackDown brand now so it won’t be surprising if Orton finally gets his win over Reigns sometime in the future.
