4 Possible opponents for Randy Orton at WWE's Saudi Arabia event

The hype around WWE's event in Saudi Arabia has started to build up as the internet is being flooded by curious WWE enthusiasts who are keenly looking forward to the event set to be hosted in the Middle East next month.

Last year, we saw 2 WWE PPVs take place in Saudi Arabia and it is fair to say that the arena was sold out and we got 2 absolutely entertaining events. The event saw major returns as we got to witness Shawn Michaels make his in-ring return as he came out of retirement after 8 long years.

This year's event will be one heck of a ride as ardent WWE devotees are already talking about what the event might be like. The event will be marked by some notable superstars and one WWE superstar who will surely make his presence felt is Randy Orton.

Orton is a 13-time world champion and The Viper will be in action at the colossal event. Here we list down 4 possible opponents for Randy Orton at WWE's Saudi Arabia event:

#4 Lars Sullivan

Lars Sullivan is making a name for himself by dismantling veterans. The Freak announced himself on the main roster by brutalising Kurt Angle on Raw after Mania. The NXT recruit is supposed to be the next big thing and the way WWE Creatives have been going with Sullivan, it does seem like the company has some big plans for him. Talking about veterans, there is one prominent guy on the roster who comes in the modern day legend bracket and is someone who could possibly give Sullivan a real taste of how things work on the main roster.

Yes, we are talking about The Viper, Randy Orton. Orton is a bonafide legend and is someone who has the potential to deliver a great match with almost anybody on the entire roster. Lars Sullivan promises to be a big star for the company in future, thus putting him against a veteran like Randy Orton will be a beneficial move for everyone.

As for Orton, this match will get him back in the frame as he will get a chance to work with someone who is nothing less than a terrorising figure - something a man with Randy's calibre will completely relish working with. The Saudi Arabian crowd will be on their feet if Orton hits an RKO to Sullivan, so as you're reading this, kindly toss this idea to Vince McMahon.

#3 John Cena

Why not rekindle the age-old rivalry between two of the greatest superstars of the 21st century? Randy Orton vs John Cena is something that we've seen quite a few times and is something which never fails to captivate us.

2 men who have literally been the most efficient workers of the company for the past many years, Orton and Cena have been the pillars of this massive organisation. The Viper's feud with Cena is one of the greatest rivalries of this century and the idea of these two competing yet again in Saudi Arabia is tantalising, simply because the two have had a major influence on each other's respective careers.

Cena hasn't been around for some time now, so getting him back for the mega event in Saudi Arabia just to have possibly one last match against his greatest rival Randy Orton, will be an astounding statement.

#2 Brock Lesnar

Back in 2016, Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton faced each other for the very first time in singles competition at SummerSlam in what was tipped to be a blockbuster encounter. The two superstars had a similar trajectory within the company, as they debuted in the early part of the 21st century and rose to prominence soon after. Both legends hold a commendable resume and it is why their hyped encounter at SummerSlam was expected to be utterly spectacular.

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out to be as expected with Lesnar simply dominating Orton throughout the match and the ending wasn't pleasant either as Lesnar won the match by TKO as he literally opened up Orton following a string of vicious elbows. Their match wasn't great but there is no doubt that these two superstars have the calibre to deliver a classic.

Both these superstars have the potential to tell a fascinating storyline and the WWE Creatives should make it happen at the Saudi Arabia event. Lesnar is a major attraction and Vince McMahon will surely get him onboard for the colossal Saudi Arabia event. Giving Lesnar and Orton a chance to better their previous clash will benefit both superstars above all, enthrall the WWE Universe in an exceptional way.

#1 Goldberg

Goldberg is scheduled to return at WWE's event in Saudi Arabia and what better way to book the legendary WCW star than against The Viper, Randy Orton? Let's face it, Goldberg is not the same anymore as he won't be able to replicate his younger self and it will need someone with vast experience and a good range of motion to deliver a quality match with him.

While there are many great superstars at WWE's disposal, there is one certain legend killer who fits the bill to challenge Goldberg at the mega event set to be hosted in the Middle East. Randy Orton and Goldberg do share a history as the met back in the day when Goldberg was feuding with Triple H and his Evolution mates - Ric Flair, Batista and Randy Orton.

Putting Goldberg up against Randy Orton will present a thrilling bout on the card and raise the excitement quotient.
