3 potential feuds for Randy Orton’s special guest appearance on WWE NXT

NXT will be moving from The USA Network to The CW Network starting October 1, 2024. WWE has now made a couple of blockbuster announcements for the premiere.

Shawn Michaels announced that NXT will be moving away from the WWE Performance Center for the first two shows on the new network. The October 1 episode will take place at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois. The following week's, October 8, episode will take place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri.

It has also been announced that CM Punk and Randy Orton will be appearing at the NXT shows in their respective hometowns of Chicago and St. Louis. Fans are excited at the prospect of seeing two of the biggest stars make an appearance on NXT TV.

Here are three possible feuds for Randy Orton's special guest appearance on WWE NXT.

#3. Myles Borne

Myles Borne signed with WWE in 2022 and was among a class of recruits who reported to the Performance Center. He soon started competing in matches on NXT Level Up. Comparisons with Randy Orton began as everyone noticed how similar he looked to a younger version of Orton.

Borne also helped Randy at the Performance Center before The Viper made his much-anticipated return at Survivor Series 2023. Hence, there is some history between the two. An interaction on NXT between Randy Orton and his look-alike could be a must-watch moment for fans.

#2. Je'Von Evans

Je'Von Evans started to make a name for himself on the independent scene before signing with the Stamford-based promotion in November 2023. Since then, he has left the entire WWE Universe in awe with his in-ring ability and unique mic skills.

He has quickly established himself as one of the top guys on NXT and has even competed for the NXT Championship once and the NXT North American Title once already. His meteoric rise has been compared to how quickly Randy Orton made a name for himself when he first joined WWE.

Recently, Randy Orton stated in an interview that he felt it was unlikely anyone would ever beat his record of becoming the youngest world champion at the age of 24. Je'Von responded to that comment by tweeting that he accepted the challenge. Hence, when Randy Orton comes to NXT in October, Je'Von could come out and challenge The Viper to a match, aiming to prove himself in front of the legend.

#1. Oba Femi

Oba Femi has firmly established himself as one of the most dominant professional wrestlers in the world today. He is the current NXT North American Champion and it seems highly unlikely that he will lose the title anytime soon.

WWE would be looking to create a massive moment in its first couple of shows on The CW Network and could do something involving Oba Femi. If Oba proposes an open challenge and Randy Orton comes out to accept it, this could be a moment that makes NXT must-see television and brings more fans to the product.

Fans have already been clamoring for this interaction since the announcement that Randy Orton will be on NXT. It will be interesting to see if this scenario materializes, as it could create a memorable moment for the brand.
