5 Current WWE Superstars who could revolutionize AEW

#1. Randy Orton would be a huge addition for AEW

Randy Orton has a lot of history with AEW's Cody Rhodes. The latter initially started out in WWE under the wing of Orton and with the guidance of The Viper, Cody eventually broke into the scene, mainly as part of Orton's Legacy faction which also included Ted DiBiase Jr.

Randy Orton is among the most decorated wrestlers in the world of professional wrestling and despite being in his 40s, he is still going strong in the WWE. He's set to challenge for the WWE Championship once again at this year's SummerSlam pay-per-view and has been a centerpiece of Monday Night RAW for months.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Orton is one of the only few WWE veterans who is still competing on a weekly basis and the multi-time former WWE World Champion has elevated numerous wrestlers over the years. Hence, Orton to AEW would definitely be the biggest deal of all time in the promotion's brief history and it could've also led to a mentor-versus-apprentice story between Orton and Cody.

And with the likes of Kenny Omega, 'Adam Page, and MJF a part of the WWE roster, we could seen Randy Orton compete in some absolute dream matches. The Viper also could revisit old rivalries against the likes of Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley, as well.
