Just a thought I had, and correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Orton the last new superstar to debut under the name WWF, and wasn't Cena the first to debut under the newly named WWE?

Orton debuted in September, So no way Orton was in the F. Not sure about Cena.

Actually, Orton debuted in April 2002 when it was still the WWF. WWF became WWE in May and Cena debuted in late June.

I believe that Batista debuted after him as Orton's first appearance on WWE TV was Smackdown in late April 2002 and Batista was sometime in mid-2002 (but before the WWF/WWE change as he was ringside for D-Von/Triple H which was during the lead up to Judgment Day).

From what I've gathered, Batista was the first one to debut under the new name change since he debuted days after WWF became WWE.

Interesting. Did Cena have a televised match before Batista though?

Interesting. Did Cena have a televised match before Batista though? I kid you not, they had their first matches on the same show, the June 27, 2002 Smackdown. Cena lost to Angle, and Batista teamed with D-Von and defeated Faarooq and Orton. Cena's match was the first on the show, and Batista's tag match was 2nd-to-last. Batista's first one-on-one match wasn't until the August 8 Smackdown, losing to Rikishi. |
