#3 Randy Orton switches sides and goes to SmackDown

Randy Orton and Roman Reigns
With Survivor Series around the corner, one definitely shouldn't be shocked if Randy Orton decides to ditch the red brand of RAW and jumps ship to SmackDown. With the Draft also around the corner, that is a possibility.

Randy Orton doesn't really have much to prove on Monday Night RAW. The multi-time WWE World Champion has done his part in putting over Drew McIntyre big time and the reigning WWE Champion now looks like a million bucks, with his credibility off the charts. For his farewell, WWE could have Orton put away the likes of Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair one last time and then finally have him jump ship to the blue side of things.
The SmackDown roster right now is absolutely stacked with some big names, with 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt and Roman Reigns leading the charge, and the likes of AJ Styles, Jeff Hardy, Big E, and Sami Zayn other notable members of the blue brand.
Throw in Randy Orton to the mix and WWE could generate some classic storylines featuring The Viper along with the company's top guns. Let's also not overlook the fact that Randy Orton recently engaged in a social media war with Universal Champion, Roman Reigns, so there's still unfinished business right there.
