There's no doubt that Randy Orton is one of the most decorated men in sports entertainment, and 'The Viper' added another accolade to his incredible resume when he defeated The Glorious Bobby Roode at WWE Fastlane to capture the one belt that had alluded him in WWE - the United States Championship.

Orton didn't have time to celebrate, though, as the Grand Slam Champion was confronted by former rival Jinder Mahal who arrived to confront 'The Viper'. Orton and Mahal have a storied history which even saw them compete in a Punjabi Prison Match where The Great Khali ensured a victory for Mahal.

With the new champion, the Modern Day Maharaja and Bobby Roode all exchanging unpleasantries over the past few weeks where RKO, Glorious DDT and Khallas have been frequently traded between the trio - it seems like Orton may have a mountain to climb with a huge target on his back ahead of Mania.

Will we find out whether Roode, Mahal or both men will challenge for the United States Championship at WrestleMania? The former United States Champion and the "uncrowned" United States Champion will both be looking to stake their claim to win the belt at Mania.
