Randy Orton attains the top place in Power 25: WWE News
The Academy of Wrestling Arts and Science revealed Top 25 Superstar in the Power 25 list for April 30. The rankings were based on the wrestler’s power in the ring, victories, the opponent’s power, the event’s importance and the overall in-ring dominance.
The Viper, Randy Orton, is ranked first in the previous week’s Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown rankings.
Orton was at the third spot Power 25 list on April 23. He jumped to the number three position due to the WrestleMania XXVII victory over CM Punk on April 18. The New Nexus members David Otunga, Michael McGillicutty and Mason Ryan also attacked him after
the match. Punk tried to punt Orton, but was treated with an RKO by The Viper.
On April 25, WWE Drafts results were unveiled in Monday Night Raw. Orton was drafted to the SmackDown in those results. Moreover, The Viper fought a match in Monday Night Raw against Dolph Ziggler. Orton smashed Dolph Ziggler and took the massive victory
over Ziggler. It was the last impact that The Viper showed in Monday Night Raw.
On April 29, Orton appeared on SmackDown after five years as per WWE Drafts results. While he was giving his comments for being on SmackDown's roster, Drew McIntyre interrupted him. McIntyre tried to hit Future Shock DDT, but The Viper escaped and treated
him with an RKO quickly. Orton again started talking about SmackDown again, but was interrupted by Alex Riley that time. Before Riley could say anything, he was also honoured with a stunning RKO by Orton.
Alberto Del Rio, Who was moved to Raw's roster in the drafts results, disrupted Orton to set his last impact on SmackDown. The SmackDown's General Manager, Theodore Long, set up a tag-team match between Christian along with Orton and Del Rio along with Brodus
Clay. Orton and Christian graciously won the tag-team match. Orton traded another RKO to mark his first SmackDown victory.
The amazing victories, in Raw and SmackDown editions previous week, took The Viper to the first place for this week’s ranking. The Viper won the 'Last Man Standing Match' at Extreme Rules on Sunday. The rankings for Extreme Rules and next SmackDown and Raw
editions will be counted on May 7.
