Orton celebrated his two-decade anniversary with WWE in April 2022, and it's a testament to his greatness that he is still wrestling. The Viper has had his fair share of injury woes throughout his career, but he has always found a way to bounce back from adversity.

The 14-time WWE World Champion would love to have the most World Championship reigns before he retires, and he could do it, provided he stays fit and motivated. Orton has wrestled in several high-stakes matches on the grandest of stages and has been able to showcase his best. Although, there have been times when some of Orton's matches have been lackluster. Nevertheless, Dave Meltzer's ratings on Orton's matches have sometimes been underappreciated, and other times generous.

There was tons of action involved and interference with the likes of Big Show, Christian, and Shawn Michaels getting involved in proceedings. McIntyre attempted a Claymore Kick, but he broke the ambulance door with Orton moving out of the way. The Viper looked set to prevail as he executed the RKO, but he took his time to close the other door in the back of the ambulance.

5 Underrated: Randy Orton Vs. Kurt Angle Vs. Rey Mysterio - WrestleMania 22 (3.75 Stars)

Kurt Angle, Randy Orton, and Rey Mysterio's triple threat match at WrestleMania 22 for Angle's World Heavyweight Championship was the prime example of quality over quantity. They got under 10 minutes, but they made the most of it with an outstanding championship match.

Angle executed the German Suplex to both men simultaneously, and he had the match won twice when he applied the Angle Lock on Mysterio and Orton who tapped out, but the referee was distracted. Orton was close to winning his second World Heavyweight Championship with an RKO on Angle, but Angle kicked out. Ultimately, Mysterio captured his first World Heavyweight Championship at Angle's expense.

3 Underrated: Randy Orton Vs. Triple H - No Mercy 2007 (4.25 Stars)

Randy Orton and Triple H's matches have been largely underwhelming which is disappointing considering the caliber of two of the all-time greats. However, their Last Man Standing match for the WWE Championship at No Mercy 2007 was the best in their rivalry.

This match had everything from broken broadcast tables to sickening chair shots. Triple H contested his third match of the night, and it had taken its toll on him with Orton ending the night as WWE Champion for the second time in one night.

2 Overrated: Randy Orton Vs. Edge - Vengeance 2004 (4.25 Stars)

Randy Orton had the longest Intercontinental Championship reign in seven years at 210 days, and he defended the gold against Edge, who was in a rich vein of form after he was on the shelf for one year after he underwent neck surgery. Nevertheless, their bout at Vengeance 2004 was a good one, but it dragged.

Tension rose as expected in a match of this caliber, and there were near falls and false finishes. Despite being the heel, chants of "Let's go Orton" reverberated around the arena. Edge captured the Intercontinental Championship for the fifth time in his career after he connected with a Spear on Orton after his back caught the exposed turnbuckle.

1 Underrated: Randy Orton Vs. Mick Foley - Backlash 2004 (4.5 Stars)

Backlash 2004 was a huge night in Randy Orton's career as he faced off with Mick Foley in a No Holds Barred, Falls Count Anywhere match for the Intercontinental Championship. The Legend Killer's title may have been up for grabs, but it was an afterthought as both men wanted to destroy each other.

Both competitors bled profusely, and this was an amazing match. Evolution was banned from ringside, but Orton didn't need them as he showed the world what he was capable of. Thumbtacks were etched into Orton's back, but Orton weathered the storm, and an RKO onto the barbed wire baseball bat was enough for Orton to retain the Intercontinental Championship.
