#4 Randy Orton (13 World titles reigns)

Randy Orton
Randy Orton's first two years on the WWE main roster saw him running roughshod over a string of legends, thus giving him the moniker of "Legend Killer". Orton finally got a shot at the big one on the road to SummerSlam 2004, after winning a battle royal. In the main event of the show, Orton defeated Chris Benoit to become the youngest World Champion in WWE history. Orton's first reign was a major flop, as he didn't do much of note and soon lost the belt to Triple H. He recovered soon though and established himself as one of the most ruthless and unforgiving villains in all of WWE.
Over the next several years, Orton feuded with the very best WWE had to offer and had marquee matches at WrestleMania and other major events. Orton won 13 World titles and is still going strong almost two decades after his debut. Orton will be challenging Drew McIntyre for the WWE title at Clash of Champions, and a victory will tie his World title reign count with that of another all-time great, Triple H.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
