Randy Orton's latest WWE Title run was underwhelming
#3. Randy Orton replaces a Superstar on Team RAW at the last minute
Randy Orton and Riddle have unfinished business from Survivor Series 2019
Much like the past few years, Survivor Series 2020 is turning out to be a stacked card that will feature the traditional 5-on-5 Survivor Series matches. For this year's PPV, the RAW Men's Team will feature the likes of AJ Styles, Braun Strowman, Sheamus, Riddle, and Keith Lee. On the other hand, Randy Orton, who has been a crucial part of Survivor Series over the years, is now in danger of missing out on the pay-per-view. Having someone as experienced as The Viper on a team would definitely be beneficial for a particular brand and, at this point, Orton could opt to set his sights on any of the five members from the Red Team.
While the possibility of Randy Orton taking out someone like Sheamus or Riddle at the very last minute and replace them for Team RAW is very unlikely, the WWE Universe certainly wouldn't mind the swerve. Having Orton compete at Survivor Series would be a solid way to regain his lost momentum. And if The Viper can pull-off a solid performance or even a win for his team, Orton will be right back into the mix for a title shot.
