Evolution and the first world championship

With Triple H and Ric Flair in Evolution, Orton became WWE's youngest World Heavyweight Champion. The Legend Killer identity developed into The Viper, with the RKO remaining the signature threat across those changes.

The WarGames comeback

After a lengthy absence beginning in 2022, Orton returned at Survivor Series: WarGames 2023. His renewed conflict with The Bloodline gave that comeback a clear target and led into another SmackDown chapter.
