Watch: Randy Orton shows intense transformation into The Viper in 50 seconds
14-time WWE World Champion Randy Orton will go down in history as one of the best heels ever in the professional wrestling industry. We've seen Orton make his rivals suffer through vicious cruelty and calculating strategies.
Orton has made a legendary name throughout his heel runs, such as The Legend Killer phase. We've seen him channeling his inner demons countless times, and we got a firsthand look at this process in the WWE EVIL documentary.
An episode about Orton's tenure in WWE as a bad guy highlighted how he portrays the villainous character effortlessly. Orton revealed details about his intense yet amazing transformation into the infamous "Viper" character:
"Being a bad guy kinda comes easy, it's like second nature to me. Just knowing how to get under people's skin, there's a way I get into the zone, and a lot of times it meant bending over and holding my breath and pushing all the blood into my face."
This is so incredible to watch and understand. https://t.co/CylUU1xEBr
The shift in Orton's nature as The Viper was exhilarating to watch. The WWE EVIL documentary successfully pulls the curtains back on the creative process around the bad guys in wrestling.
The eight-episode documentary series is currently streaming on Peacock, featuring other famous heels such as Roman Reigns, Sasha Banks, The Miz, etc.
Will we see Randy Orton as an evil heel anytime soon?
The tables have turned drastically for Randy Orton's character from a sadistic heel to a mellowed-out teammate. We'll have to thank his partner, Riddle, for the change as a new side of Randy has been showcased on RAW ever since they teamed up.
Although many have speculated that a break-up between RK-Bro is on the horizon, the rumored split seems to be on hold for now.
#RKBro will defend the #WWERaw Tag Team Championship in a Triple Threat Match at #WrestleMania 38!
