10 Superstar departures that would hurt WWE if they left for All Elite Wrestling

#4 Randy Orton

The Legend Killer wouldn't leave the WWE, would he?

Orton is on the back end of his career and he has contractual freedom that every other WWE Superstar doesn't have.

He gets to work fewer dates than most of the other full-time Superstars and still makes a ton of money.

Perhaps he is just considering all of his options even though he's a WWE creation through and through.

He didn't come from the indie scene like Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Kevin Owens or Samoa Joe. He's also likely playing both companies against each other for more money.

If Orton decided to take AEW up on a potential offer, it would strike a huge blow to the WWE family. He's been with the company for his entire career and has lineage in the company.

A defection to a potentially huge competitor for WWE would harken back to the WWF-WCW days when Hall and Nash left WWF for WCW.

Orton has the type of name recognition in the industry that would place him atop the card in any promotion he was a part of.

He isn't a free agent until 2020 so hopefully, for WWE's sake they can resign him or offer him even more perks.
