5 things that Randy Orton needs to change in WWE

The career of Randy Orton is a curious case study

Randy Orton is a fascinating professional wrestler, and he's still a few years away from his 40s despite being a vital cog in the WWE machine since 2002. The guy has greatness flowing through his veins, and as such, there were a lot of expectations for his future in the business when he first appeared on television.

As we fast forward to 2017, it would seem from an outsider’s perspective that Randy has lived up to his potential, but his many World Title reigns only serve to gloss over the truth. What is the truth, you ask? Well, essentially, The Viper has been a little bit dull over the last few years despite Vince’s best efforts to keep him relevant.

Sure he's the WWE Champion right now, but that’s a belt he’s held more than a dozen times now, and it loses its meaning if you only give it to guys because they’re the safe option. Orton is one of the most talented wrestlers on the roster, and he can still bring a lot to the weekly product, but we need to start mixing things up.

With that being said, here are five things that Randy Orton needs to change in WWE.


#1 His look/theme

Orton must refresh his look

Randy Orton may well be one of the most good-looking men in the business today, but that doesn’t mean we want his look to stay the same. If you look at the above shot of The Legend Killer with elbow pads (which are criminally underrated when it comes to attire) and new trunks, he looks like an entirely different guy.

Wearing the same old trunks with the same old bland colour scheme isn’t going to resonate with fans in this day in age, especially when your theme song is also one of the dullest in the entire company. Seriously, Voices is so painfully boring that it makes us want to change the channel the second it hits the speakers.
