5 dream cross-promotional opponents for Randy Orton

Randy Orton is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. The Viper's in-ring capability is second to none, which is testament to his fitness and longevity in a career that has spanned almost two decades in WWE.

A third-generation superstar, Randy is the most experienced wrestler on the current roster, having held the prestigious WWE Championship on 10 occasions, and the World Heavyweight Championship on four.

A legend in his own right, Randy, in his younger days, cemented his Legend Killer status by defeating The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Kane, to name a few.

Essentially a heel throughout his celebrated career, Randy is currently a babyface on RAW as a part of RK-Bro with Riddle. They are the reigning WWE Raw Tag Team Champions, having beaten AJ Styles and Omos at SummerSlam.

In this article, we take a look at five dream cross-promotional opponents for Randy Orton who are currently active on the circuit.

#1 Jon Moxley vs Randy Orton

Jon Moxley is better known to the WWE Universe as Dean Ambrose, a member of the famous faction Shield.

While Randy has fought Ambrose in WWE, his Moxley character is very different. Moxley is now one of the top names in AEW facing the likes of Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega.

The Viper will certainly have his hands full squaring off against the unpredictable Moxley. Will the Paradigm Shift put an end to Randy Orton in the match, or the RKO reign supreme?

As fans we can only hope to see this come true someday.

#4 Chris Jericho vs Randy Orton

A contest pinning the veterans in the business. Chris Jericho, much like Randy, is an experienced campaigner in WWE and is now one of the top guys in AEW.

This contest would certainly be interesting as both wrestlers were once considered brash youngsters and have now evolved into legendary superstars.

The match won't be Y2J vs The Legend Killer, but two evolved superstars in Jericho vs Orton. Will Jericho's Judas Effect put Orton down or will the Apex Predator have enough in his arsenal to emerge victorious?

Surely worth pondering about!

#3 Sting v Randy Orton

There are few superstars of the caliber of Sting; a veteran in the business and a torchbearer of WCW for the better part of the 90s. Much like the Undertaker's loyalty towards WWE, Sting showed the same for WCW.

Now an AEW star, The Stinger and Randy have never squared off, making this contest even more exciting. The Scoprion Death Drop is a divisive finishing move which has put the best in the business to rest.

This match would most certainly be what dreams are made of with the might of Sting pitted against the flamboyance of the Legend Killer. One for the ages if it were to happen.

#2 Kenny Omega vs Randy Orton

Kenny Omega, currently the AEW World Champion and one of the biggest heels on the roster, has never squared off against Orton.

Much like Roman Reigns on SmackDown, Kenny is doing some of his best work as a heel. His persona is quite similar to the way Orton exuberates his heel side.

Omega is scheduled to be in of the most epic clashes this Wednesday at AEW Grand Slam when he squares off against babayface Bryan Danielson.

If Kenny were to face Randy, the rivalry could be pinned as one of the top heels of AEW vs one of the top babayfaces of WWE. A contest that will create excitement galore not only in the ring, but also on the mic as both are excellent with promos.

#1 CM Punk vs Randy Orton

There are few wrestlers who induce the kind of reaction like CM Punk. Love him or hate him, you surely can't get enough of him.

Since making his AEW debut in August, after a seven-year hiatus, Punk has set the roster on fire by beating Darby Allin at the All Out event.

The Best in the World had a showdown with the Viper at WrestleMania 27 which Randy won, although now things are different.

If this dream contest were to happen, it would pin a resurgent Punk against Orton. Would the RKO overpower the GTS or would Punk emerge victorious? A contest as epic as any!
