Roman Reigns has disappeared from WWE television following his victory over Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. At the moment, there are very few viable challengers left for him, and most of them are on the shelf injured.
One potential challenger that stands out is Randy Orton. He is someone who needs no introduction, considering his storied career with the promotion. If you are foolish enough to ask him for one, he will probably show you his fourteen world title reigns before dropping you with an RKO.Randy Orton is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. Throughout his career, he has developed a reputation for being someone who would never look out of place while competing at the highest level. Twenty years after his debut, the said reputation is still in place.
As such, Roman Reigns versus Randy Orton for the former's Undisputed WWE Universal Championship will be a marquee matchup. Orton's credibility means fans can easily buy into him being a legitimate threat to Reigns' record-breaking reign. Even if he takes the loss, his momentum will barely be affected. If you think back a little, you will recall that it was Roman Reigns and The Bloodline who put Randy Orton out of action. Their feud with RK-Bro a couple of months ago saw them injure Orton and attack his partner Matt Riddle at every turn, something the former world champion will be looking to avenge when he returns.Sneaky RKOs to The Usos, Solo Sikoa, and Sami Zayn, and a warning shot to Reigns is all Orton needs to deliver. WWE will then have a mega match on hand to headline one of their premium live events. A callback to the past would also be great storytelling and raise the stakes heading into their clash.
