#1 Randy Orton will be the biggest threat to Kofi Kingston
Kofi Kingston was supposed to choose his next challenger on SmackDown Live this week. The New Day member picked Randy Orton and the two men will lock horns at SummerSlam. Kingston named Orton as his next opponent and the two Superstars offered an impressive segment on the blue brand.
Orton, who was away from the ring, made his long-awaited return last week. The Viper fought Triple H at Super ShowDown but he skipped Stomping Grounds and Extreme Rules. Following his return last week, the thirteen-time WWE Champion made a huge statement by pinning Kofi Kingston.
Since winning the WWE Title at The Grandest Stage of Them All, Kingston has faced several credible challengers. Kevin Owens, Dolph Ziggler, and Samoa Joe were certainly notable opponents but Randy Orton has a bigger stature. The Viper is one of the most decorated Superstars in the modern era and he won the WWE Championship thirteen times. Hence, Kingston will have a mountain to climb at SummerSlam and Orton will be aiming to win the WWE Title after two years.
