3 reasons why Randy Orton should win the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions

Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton has been in the making for 11 years. They've come face-to-face once again after 10 years. The WWE Champion locked horns with The Viper at SummerSlam a couple of weeks ago.

However, the match ended almost abruptly. Kingston and Orton gave all they had during the match, but Orton did something which took the WWE Champion to his limit. The Apex Predator tried to humiliate Kingston in front of his family during the match.

Kingston could not take this lying down, and laid a vicious beat-down to Orton. After hitting him with numerous kendo-stick shots, Kingston took him inside the ring and hit him with a Trouble in Paradise.

The rivalry is far from over as the two are still trying to take each other down on the road to Clash of Champions. WWE has announced that Orton and Kingston will once again go head-to-head at WWE Clash of Champions next month for the WWE Championship.

In this article, let's take a look at 3 reasons why Randy Orton should win the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions 2019.

#3 Fresh booking options

Randy Orton

SmackDown has been suffering from low ratings despite putting on good shows every week. One of the factors which may be behind it is the lack of proper feuds on the Blue Brand. Kofi Kingston, the main champion on the blue brand, hasn't been booked in a proper storyline since winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

He has been booked in random matches with the likes of Samoa Joe, Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler. The only proper feud he's been booked in is with Randy Orton, which is going on right now. Ironically, the reason fans are invested in this feud is not WWE's current booking, but the 11-year history between Orton and Kingston.

Orton winning the title will open many new directions for WWE because The Viper can develop chemistry with anyone in no time. We can get to see some new faces like Buddy Murphy, Aleister Black and Ali in the main event scene.

#2 Majorly over with the fans

Whether he's a face or a heel, the WWE Universe cannot stop cheering for Randy Orton. The Viper is still one of the biggest crowd-pullers in WWE. Judging by the reactions Orton has been getting since his return to the ring, the fans wouldn't really mind him as the face of the Blue Brand.

You can check out the pop for Orton on RAW last month when Paul Heyman named him as one of the competitors in the Battle Royal.

Every time Orton steps inside the ring, he enthralls the fans. Winning the WWE Championship will give him a well deserved 14th reign with the title. WWE can also expect a potential ratings boost and increase in fan attendance once they have Orton as the champion.

Moreover, Randy Orton is the best choice for being the WWE Champion on the SmackDown roster currently. He's not only an established wrestler, but also a complete package. The guy can rock the microphone and destroy his opponents inside the ring. Besides, he has the ability to connect with the crowd.

Orton winning the WWE title will surely please the WWE Universe. If The Viper wins his 14th WWE title at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, we can expect a huge pop from the crowd.

#1 Will bring credibility to the WWE Championship

Orton with the WWE Championship

Kofi Kingston winning the WWE Championship was history in the making, but let's be honest, the WWE Championship isn't as prestigious right now as it was when Daniel Bryan and AJ Styles carried it.

A majority of WWE fans consider Kingston a mid-carder at best, and that's where he really is on top of his game. Kingston can't just work with every wrestler in the main event scene. Orton winning the WWE title will automatically restore its lost prestige.

Randy Orton as heel is one of the best things ever in pro wrestling. The merciless character Orton has just makes him look like an opponent who can't be defeated very easily. Orton did some really disturbing things in the ring to Jeff Hardy during their rivalry last year which showed how evil he can get.

Every year, Orton just brings a new element to his character, which make the fans wanting him more on their TV screens. He's arguably the most over heel in WWE right now.

The guy can carry SmackDown on his shoulders for a long time. WWE needs to give this guy the ball and let him run with it. With the WWE Championship around his waist, Randy Orton, whether face or heel, will be a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming months.
