5 reasons Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton need to join forces

#3 Their ruthless personalities mesh well with each other

Both Orton and Shinsuke are more than willing to take advantage of a downed opponent.

Alliances in pro wrestling work best when the participants are of a like mindset. For example, The Shield were successful for a long time because they were dedicated to taking care of each other and running roughshod over the rest of the roster. On the other hand, duos like Kevin Owens and Chris Jericho don't last long because of their fundamentally differing philosophies.

Shinsuke Nakamura was one of the most popular babyfaces in WWE until WrestleMania 34, where he hit AJ Styles with a low blow. From then on, he's been a pure ruthless heel, devastating his opponents with evil glee.

Randy Orton has been a babyface during his long tenure with WWE. But the fact is he's mostly known for being an unbalanced and possibly sociopathic violent heel. Remember when he DDT'd Stephanie McMahon and then sealed it with a kiss?

Basically, these two maniacs deserve each other, and woe be to any WWE Superstar unlucky enough to cross their collective path.
