Randy Orton has been involved in some of the most memorable bouts in the history of WWE SummerSlam.
Randy Orton is considered one of the most versatile WWE superstars, who are still in their prime and have plenty of gas left in the tank. The Viper has been a part of the global juggernaut and is a mainstay of the SmackDown brand today.
With the Biggest Party of the Summer, WWE SummerSlam, on the horizon, it is expected that the company would include the star power of Randy Orton. Let us take a look at five potential opponents for Orton at SummerSlam:
5. Jacob Fatu
Jacob Fatu has already established himself as a force to be reckoned with on his first night on SmackDown a few weeks ago, taking out Cody Rhodes, Kevin Owens and Randy Orton. WWE could use the opportunity to book a first-time-ever bout between Fatu and Orton at SummerSlam, which could be a new challenge for The Viper and a rising opportunity for The Samoan Werewolf.
4. Kevin Owens
Randy Orton and Kevin Owens have been tagging along for a few months in their quest to take down The Bloodline. However, their multiple failures in matches at huge WWE PLEs could have built frustrations among the duo. This could lead to one betraying the other and setting up a showdown between Owens and Orton for a marquee match at WWE SummerSlam.
3. Bobby Lashley
Bobby Lashley has been absent from WWE television programming ever since the onset of the WWE King of the Ring Tournament a few months ago due to injury. However, should Lashley be able to recuperate in time for The Biggest Party of the Summer, WWE could slate him for a huge showdown against WWE’s Apex Predator. The duo have not interacted much in their careers, and a match could be an enthralling sight for WWE.
2. Solo Sikoa
Solo Sikoa has emerged as a dangerous threat ever since he took over the reins of The Bloodline in Roman Reigns’ absence from WWE since WrestleMania 40. The self-proclaimed new ‘Tribal Chief’ is looking to rise to the top of the WWE food chain. His intentions could go through SummerSlam with a match against a legend like Randy Orton, and a possible win over The Viper could cement his claim to better opportunities from now on.
1. Cody Rhodes
One of the most highly anticipated matches that the WWE Universe has patiently awaited is the inevitable clash between Randy Orton and his former protege-turned Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes. The duo have a rich history together, dating back to the time of Cody’s debut in WWE and being under the tutelage of The Viper as part of the Legacy faction. With both superstars in their prime, a match for the championship would be remembered for the ages to come.
