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

#2 Randy Orton could help boost AEW into the mainstream

Since its debut on TNT, All Elite Wrestling has drawn very solid TV ratings, hitting over a million viewers in each of its three episodes.

AEW is also drawing viewers via platforms other than TV, with its YouTube series AEW Dark performing well since its inception.

Despite AEW getting off to a solid start in its run on TNT, the company is still missing a top talent that could really put AEW over the top as a major promotion, and bring the company into the mainstream world in addition to the world of pro wrestling.

While Randy Orton might not be a name akin to John Cena or The Rock, Orton certainly has a big enough name that if he made the jump to AEW, he could help usher the company into the world of mainstream TV programming, and introduce the product to a wider range of audience and wrestling fans.

AEW is certainly on the right track by utilizing its early days on TV to help establish new talents and focus on the future stars of the company, but a name like Randy Orton could really help the company reach viewership numbers similar to that of WWE Raw and SmackDown.
