WWE Crown Jewel: 4 most likely winners of the World Cup

#2 Randy Orton

Randy Orton is a 13-time WWE World champion

Randy Orton has been on a roll ever since he returned to WWE television at Extreme Rules in July.

“The Viper” has tormented everybody and everything in his path, from Jeff Hardy and his stretched earlobe to Tye Dillinger and his crooked fingers, and it surely won’t be long before his recent change in attitude leads to another WWE Championship pursuit.

Braun Strowman’s 50-man Greatest Royal Rumble triumph in April counted for absolutely nothing, at least from a storyline perspective, so perhaps WWE has learned from that and the winner of this World Cup tournament could receive a title opportunity in the future.

If that is the case, then Orton should be considered a top contender to win the whole thing. Plus, when you consider the aggressive attacks he’s been dishing out recently, it's difficult to see any of the other seven men in this tournament (except our #1!) picking up a win over the 13-time World champion.
