5 Theories on why Randy Orton should sign with All Elite Wrestling

#3 Randy Orton could reinvent himself in AEW

There have been many iterations of Randy Orton during his run in WWE, with The Viper spanning time as a babyface and a heel, with most fans feeling Orton works best when he is a heel.

Throughout his entire WWE career, Randy Orton is probably best known for his time as The Legend Killer, during which Orton was a maniacal psychopath hellbent on destroying everything and everyone in WWE. Orton was credited with putting many legends out to pasture during his time as The Legend Killer, and he also used The Punt Kick, a devastating finishing move which has since been banned in WWE.

WWE's move to PG programming, however, has largely disabled Randy Orton from being the heel character he has the ability to play, and the ushering in of the PG era stripped Orton of some of the characteristics which made him at one point the top heel in pro wrestling.

Should Orton make the jump to All Elite Wrestling, which is not a PG company, The Viper could spread his wings a bit and reinvent himself as a much edgier heel who could reestablish himself as one of the baddest characters in pro wrestling.
