#3 Randy Orton

Past his best, but never really know.

Randy Orton, who else just feels privileged to see this man walk down the ramp every week, as so many ruthless aggression superstars like Brock Lesnar, John Cena, and Batista walked out the company to pursue a more lucrative career in Hollywood or MMA, but not Orton.

Even though many won't admit it, Orton is one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot inside a wrestling ring, and while some negate his work by branding him boring, Orton is the type of wrestler that doesn't need to do one hundred flips and superkicks to have a classic, as he has worked his way up into an elite class that affords him the benefit of the doubt.

And even though Orton is playing a heel that hates the people, everyone basically marks out when Orton comes down to the ring or hits his opponent with an RKO, as fans realise that Orton's best days as a top champion in WWE is behind him, and it won't be long before he wraps up his wrestling career.

Furthermore, Orton's run over the last few years has been about putting over younger talent, which means he could be retiring sooner than many expect. Therefore, is there any chance of Orton returning to the main event? The logical answer is no, but the creative team's answer might be a little more positive. As let's ask ourselves this question: what is Orton's role in this match? Is it to dish out a couple RKO's from unlikely places or is it to put over a rising star?

It could be both, but it will be extremely surprising if his role in the Money in the Bank match is to climb the ladder and unhook the briefcase. This is totally plausible, as Orton vs Kofi Kingston (if Kofi retains against Kevin Owens at the event) will be a programme many would love to see, moreover when you consider the longtime rumour that Randy himself halted Kofi's push back in the day, this is a feud that has heat already.
