#5 Randy Orton

The Viper is calm these days

It would be surprising to see Randy in the list as he was away from the title scene for so long, but he was an obvious pick to be in this list.

Due to some professional reasons, the 'Viper' was temporarily sidelined from the main event scene and was involved in some mid-card level bouts. Let us not forget the fact that he was the first ever WWE World Heavyweight Champion. He enjoyed a decent title reign and represented the company for a good couple of months.

Orton would surely be back on the hunt for the title and let's see when the viper strikes again.
