5 reasons why Randy Orton could turn heel at Survivor Series 2017

#3 WWE Championship pursuit

Orton is three titles away from the World Championship record

At this stage of his career, the only goal Randy Orton could realistically target is the World Championship record of 16 title reigns, jointly held by John Cena and Ric Flair.

If you bear in mind that Cena is 40 and has recently started to slow down his WWE career and that Orton is only 37 and is still on television every week, there’s every chance he could reach or surpass 16 title reigns by the time he calls it quits.

To do that, he simply has to turn heel. His short title reign in 2017, and subsequent rivalry with Jinder Mahal was disappointing and nobody needs to see another run with a babyface Orton as champion anytime soon.
