– WWE confirmed on its website this afternoon that Randy Orton has joined Twitter. As noted earlier, his account is located at twitter.com/RealRKOrton Following Orton's Triple Threat Match victory over Chris Jericho and Edge last night on RAW, "The Viper" was the No. 1 most-popular trend on Twitter for more than 15 hours. During this time, John Cena persisted Orton to join the social networking site. "CeNation. I have told Randy about the overwhelming demand 4 him on Twitter. What he does now is up to him," Cena posted this morning. Later that afternoon, Cena tweeted, "The Viper lurks. [Orton] is seriously considering joining very soon."
