What's next for Randy Orton after failing to capture the WWE Championship on RAW?
Orton currently holds the RAW Tag Team Championships alongside his tag-team partner Riddle. Together known as RK-Bro, the duo have been a fan favorite over the last few months. They captured the tag titles at WWE SummerSlam 2021.
Following his loss to Lashley and Big E becoming the new WWE Champion, it is to be seen whether Orton will remain in the WWE title scene going forward. We might instead see Lashley feud with Big E for the WWE title. Orton and Riddle could start a feud for their titles with some new tag team on RAW.
