5 possible heel turns that could happen at Backlash 2018

#3 Randy Orton

WWE is wasting Orton as a bland babyface

At the moment, Randy Orton is at the peak of his wrestling career, as he is one of the best natural talents to grace the squared circle.

However, while Orton’s in-ring ability can never be questioned, his character work has been among WWE’s worst for over the last few years.

Orton is one the last full-time veterans WWE has on their roster. Thus it is shocking to realize that they are intent on wasting his one in a lifetime abilities.

The Viper is undoubtedly better suited as a heel that his current babyface persona, as the greatest work of his career came from his iconic “legend killer” persona and even his “deranged viper” shtick.

Therefore, whether Orton brings back his nostalgic gimmick or his unhinged persona at Backlash 2018, WWE needs to manage Orton better this year, and that all starts by turning this icon heel at Backlash.
