Randy Orton became a popular favorite after breaking away from Evolution, but only for a short time. At the start of 2005, he turned heel and entered a rivalry with The Undertaker, challenging him to about at WrestleMania 21. Even though Orton was a previous world champion, he still had a lot to prove to fans and backstage personnel. He needed to show that he was more than a clichéd “beautiful face” within the squared circle. The Deadman did an excellent job selling Orton’s offense and portraying him as a star throughout.
