Royal Rumbles are known for their unpredictability factor and surprises. The 2009 Rumble saw Randy Orton go into the match-up as heavy favourite alongside his Legacy team-mates, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.

Randy Orton went on to dominate the Rumble match alongside his proteges, and ultimately won the match-up, which did not come as a major shocker. Orton's victory was unwarranted, and did not have much impact.

Breaking Vince Russo and Jim Cornette update HERE.

Randy Orton went on to face his Evolution partner, Triple H, at WrestleMania 25. Their match was lacklustre, and fell flat alongside several great matches at the event.

Randy Orton won the Rumble in 2017, and once again disappointed in his Mania match against Bray Wyatt. Both of Orton's victories were unnecessary and unwarranted.
