John Cena is celebrating his greatest rivalry.
Randy Orton debuted in WWE on April 23rd, 2002 when he shockingly defeated Hardcore Holly in his debut match. Since then, Orton has gone on to main event countless pay-per-views, have over twenty title reigns, and become one of the greatest superstars in WWE history.
In a new tweet sent out today, John Cena, who is arguably Orton's greatest rival ever, joined in on the celebration of The Viper's 20-year anniversary in the business.
For 20 years @RandyOrton has cemented his legacy as 1 of the greatest @WWE Superstars ever. I have the utmost respect for every achievement he’s earned & CONTINUES to earn. But my genuine love & admiration for him is in his maturity & growth as a human being. Here’s to RKO! --

Cena made his TV debut only two months after Orton, beating Kurt Angle in his first match on the June 25th, 2002 edition of WWE Smackdown. Cena and Orton would go on to be arguably the two biggest stars in the company throughout their era. The two have faced each other in a total of 21 televised singles matches over the year, while also adding an additional 20 multi-man matches together as well.
