#4 Randy Orton
Randy Orton is by far the most consistent heel that is currently active on the main roster today. His work has been noted and appreciated by many, and he is definitely the most recognizable heel character by the WWE Universe.
Randy Orton’s greatest work this year was against Jeff Hardy. After losing the United States Championship, and being sidelined by injury, The Viper soon made his return and attacked Hardy constantly before earning a few matches against him.
The two men met at Hell in a Cell where Orton dished out some of the most gruesome punishment to Hardy we have seen in the modern era.
Orton remains one of the best wrestlers in the industry today, and he has been hunting for victims to lay down. After Hardy, he has been working on deleting Rey Mysterio from the roster and will definitely showcase why he is the best heel going forward into 2019.
