He is an eight-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and a four-time World Heavyweight Champion, making him a 12-time world champion, and the final holder of the World Heavyweight Championship (upon unifying it with the WWE Championship).
Early life
Orton was born on April 1, 1980, in Knoxville, Tennessee. He is the son of Bob, Jr. and Elaine Orton. He is also the grandson of the late Bob, Sr. and Rita Orton, the nephew of Barryand Elaina Orton and the first cousin of Jasper, Racheland Barry, Jr.. He also has two younger siblings, Nate and Rebecca. Knowing from experience the hardships of life as a professional wrestler, Orton's parents tried to convince him to stay away from the business, and his father warned him that life in the ring meant a life on the road, away from family. Orton attended Hazelwood Central High School, where he was an amateur wrestler.
Military career
After graduating from Hazelwood in 1998, Orton enlisted with the United States Marine Corps. At the base, he received a bad conduct discharge a year later after going AWOL on two separate occasions and disobeying an order from a commanding officer. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, Private First Class Orton was tried and convicted under a special court-martial and was put into a military prison for thirty-eight days.

In November 2005, Orton announced his engagement to his girlfriend Samantha Speno. They married on September 21, 2007. In December 2007, Orton announced that he and his wife were expecting their first child, a daughter. Orton and his wife welcomed Alanna Marie Orton on July 12, 2008. In July 2013, TMZ reported that Orton and Speno had divorced the month before, after separating in late 2012.
He had a tattoo on his left arm that read "USMC" for United States Marine Corps but covered it up after receiving a bad conduct discharge when he went AWOL from the service. He was sent home after serving thirty-eight days in military prison at Camp Pendleton in California.
