4 Potential opponents for Randy Orton if he comes to RAW in the Superstar Shake-Up

The all-time favourite heel is back
Orton has always expressed that he enjoys playing a heel character more and the writers have fulfilled his dream by turning him into a full-fledged heel last month

Fulfilling several wrestling fans dream, Randy Orton has finally turned heel and he is excelling in doing his job in WWE's flagship show Smackdown Live.

Currently, he is feuding against Jeff Hardy, and the universe is enjoying his brutal assaults on the Hardy.

Orton has always expressed that he enjoys playing a heel character more and the writers have fulfilled his dream by turning him into a full-fledged heel last month.

WWE can't ignore the fact that it is facing an imbalance of heel and babyfaces in both of its brands. While RAW has too many babyfaces and very few heels, Smackdown Live has too many heels and very few babyfaces.

If WWE is planning a superstar shake-up, it can send Orton to RAW where he can face several opponents and also create a huge impact on the indifference. 'The Viper' won't disappoint the Universe and he will continue spreading his vicious venom across the Red Brand.


#4 Bobby Lashley

Make Lashley great again!

One thing which describes Bobby Lashley's comeback in WWE is- Lackluster. Since his return, Lashley has feuded with Sami Zayn and Roman Reigns. His feud with Zayn was supposed to be humorous, but it failed to tickle zero funny bones. Also, his matches were dull and slow.

Due to this obnoxious feud, people think that it would've been better if Lashley hadn't made his return.

To redeem his sunken ship in RAW, he can feud with Orton. Lashley's tough build, and Orton's RKO's out of nowhere will be an amazing watch, and it will also give Lashley the prominence he requires right now.

#3 Finn Balor or The Demon King

Finn Balor has been another victim of bad booking. He has only one achievement after debuting in the main roster, that is his first Universal Title win in 2016.

Neither WWE has bothered to give him a title opportunity nor it has given him a proper feud to shine and prove himself.

Currently, Balor is feuding with Baron Corbin which is considered as a filler by the Universe. The match is monotonous and boring. It is pushing Balor down to the deeper holes of failure.

Balor has always been popular, but he is stuck in the logjam of all the babyfaces in RAW.

But, Randy Orton as a heel can redeem Finn Balor's career in WWE. The Demon King persona of Balor comes out only at chosen pay-per-views, but if it comes out while battling Orton, the match is going to be a ticket selling main event.

If this match is featured on the cards of WM 35, then the only word which can describe it is AWESOME.

#2 Bobby Roode

Another Bobby in this list is, Bobby Roode. The 'Glorious' one isn't Glorious anymore.

Roode has lost his relevance after debuting in the main roster and is lost in obscurity after his debut in Monday Night RAW. His feud with Mojo Rawley lacks any element which will pull the interest of the Universe.

Every wrestling fan reminisces Roode's days of success in NXT. Roode was an extremely famous heel, and he had featured in several main-events of NXT Takeover.

A few years back, no one would have imagined that the same glorious heel, will be a babyface feuding a lower card wrestler, Mojo Rawley.

WWE might not turn him a heel as he has lost all his relevance in the roster. Also, the writers should recognise his importance to bring in a change in his character.

But, a feud with Orton can change Bobby Roode's career for the better. It will elevate his character and also, it will help him to gain significance in the main roster.

Roode's technical skills and Orton's cunning moves can bring out a good feud. They have been in a feud before, but it wasn't booked properly. If given an opportunity, the veterans can build-up good matches and feuds.

#1 Roman Reigns

Apex Predator vs The Big Dog
Apex Predator vs The Big Dog

Roman Reigns has finally defeated Brock Lesnar and acquired the Universal Championship which he had aspired to win for a very long time. It had been a long road, and the Universe knew that he wouldn't stop feuding Brock Lesnar until he wins the championship belt.

As the management of WWE wants the Universe to think that he is a fighting champion, he will keep his championship on the line always. In Hell in the Cell PPV, he is going to compete against Braun Strowman and most probably, the latter is going to lose the match.

The Big Dog and the Apex Predator have feuded before, and they have put forward an amazing match.

This feud will have a lot of trash talking, many promos etc. Both the stars were not very good with the mic before, but now we have seen improvement in their mic-skills.

The match between the stars who belong to two different eras will be a good watch. RKO's, DDT's, taunts, spears and Superman Punches will rock the feud and make it an amazing one to remember.
