5 things Randy Orton should do before his WWE career ends

Ra
Randy Orton has been in multiple factions in the past

With 13 world title reigns, two WrestleMania main-event appearances and two Royal Rumble triumphs, Randy Orton is one of the most decorated WWE Superstars of his generation.

Throughout his 16 years on Raw and SmackDown, “The Viper” has won almost everything there is to win and achieved almost everything there is to achieve.

However, aged just 38, the likelihood is that he will still be around on our screens for the next few years – so what’s next for the man formerly known as “The Legend Killer”?

In this article, we take a look at five things that the future Hall of Famer should do before his WWE career comes to an end.


#5 Heel turn

When
Randy Orton is a much better heel than a babyface

Let’s start with the most obvious suggestion: Randy Orton has to turn heel again – and the sooner he does it, the better.

Ever since he returned from an injury in early 2015, the former WWE champion has played a babyface character, which has worked well at times (his WrestleMania 31 match with Seth Rollins springs to mind) but not so well on other occasions (the Jinder Mahal rivalry, for example).

In recent months, Orton has been involved in United States Championship storylines with Bobby Roode, Rusev, Jeff Hardy and Jinder, but his 28-day run with the title was largely meaningless and it feels like he’s being wasted on SmackDown Live.

Everybody knows that the vindictive heel who has psychopathic tendencies and hears voices in his head is a much more captivating character than the one currently being portrayed on television, so it’s about time WWE finally switched Orton back to being a bad guy.
