Randy Orton has gone by various names over the years, from The Apex Predator to The Viper, but he has decided to hand over his most iconic gimmick to another star this week. Randy Orton Has Handed Over The Legend Killer Gimmick The WWE veteran gained the name of The Legend Killer earlier on in his career when he showcased a lack of respect for some of the biggest names in WWE.

Orton took to X to post a caricature of himself passing a "Legend Killer" chain to Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards. Orton developed that moniker in 2003, taking out various WWE greats of the past to help establish his own legacy (pun fully intended) before ultimately becoming the youngest world champion in promotion history.

WWE star Randy Orton passes on the "Legend Killer" moniker to a rising NBA star following their first-round win in the 2025 playoffs.
