#1 Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio
AJ Styles isn’t the only top draw on SmackDown. He is surrounded by men like Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio who have been the past of the WWE, are the present, and will be the future of the business.
Rey Mysterio returned to the WWE in grand fashion, and first beat Shinsuke Nakamura on SmackDown 1000 to book a place in the World Cup at Crown Jewel, and then beat The Legend Killer to progress into the semifinals of the tournament.
Randy Orton wasn’t pleased with his defeat against The Master of 619, and attacked the masked cruiserweight after his victory against Almas on SmackDown (November 6).
The WWE seems to be on a similar path of a rivalry which saw Randy Orton nearly destroy Jeff Hardy. During that time Jeff Hardy was fighting for the US Championship, and it seems like Rey Mysterio is also in contention for the red, blue and white title, while The Viper is on his trail.
This is one rivalry which the WWE should jump on, as it could not only be a cash cow, but also a ratings booster. Both men have had great matches in the past, and the experienced duo can put on equally good matches now.
As the storyline of Orton out to destroy those who are cheered by the WWE Universe continues, he could take a shot at the returned Master of 619, week after week.
