#2 Randy Orton
'The Legend Killer' Randy Orton has achieved success on every level, winning thirteen world championships. Starting in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) alongside Batista, Brock Lesnar and John Cena, he was destined for a bright future. Becoming a member of Triple H's stable, Evolution, early in his career led to multiple championships in following years.
Currently signed with the SmackDown Live brand, Orton plays one of the best heel characters in history. However, he has lacked a significant program in recent years. Therefore, bringing back Orton's previous persona much like his involvement in 'The Authority' feud with Seth Rollins.
Furthermore, it is unfortunate Orton's lack of story on television because he is so valuable as a wrestler. So, with Roode lacking relevant opponents and storyline, why not bring in Randy Orton and have him win the title.
Firstly, Orton has never been United States Champion. Secondly, what better way to build Bobby Roode into a legitimate main event wrestler than feuding with The Apex Predator. WWE would be crazy to avoid this situation.
