The Viper returned to form in 2017, after missing half of 2016, winning that year's Royal Rumble, as well as the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 33.
His 11 appearances on PPV in 2017 was tied for the most of any superstar.
Outside of the squared-circle, Orton is a constant merchandise seller, with his image plastered on figures, t-shirts, posters and the annual video game.
Now with his feud with Jeff Hardy seemingly drawn to a close, expect Orton to move on to the WWE Championship.
