5 Best ways for Randy Orton to return to WWE

#3. Picking up where he left off with AJ Styles

Randy Orton and AJ Styles

Earlier this year, Randy Orton was in the midst of a rivalry with AJ Styles - picking up where they left off at WrestleMania 35. On that occasion, Styles was the face, and Orton was the heel, with The Phenomenal One picking up his third consecutive win at WrestleMania.

This time around, however, the roles were reversed. Styles had been a heel for almost half a year after reuniting with Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson to form The OC. Orton had been a face for a while and they even had a match far superior to their WrestleMania encounter.

One of the odd things about it was the fact that it ended abruptly with no conclusion. Edge returned at the Royal Rumble 2020 and the night after, Orton attacked him and turned heel, immediately ending his previous feud with Styles.

While it might require Orton (or Styles) to turn face, it might be better to pick up where they left off and have a definite conclusion to the rivalry.
