#3 Andrade vs Randy Orton
Ad
This needs to happen!
In recent weeks, former NXT Champion, Andrade has been on an absolute roll on SmackDown Live, where he has been competing at the very highest level against the likes of AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan, and very recently against Rey Mysterio, whom the former NXT Champion defeated several weeks prior to The Rumble in an instant classic.

At this year's Royal Rumble, Andrade had another solid outing entering the match at #19 and lasting around 22 minutes and for his only elimination in the match, the former NXT Champion got rid off 'The Viper' Randy Orton.

Not only did Andrade dump Orton over the top rope but eventually went on to the final four alongside the likes of Dolph Ziggler, Braun Strowman, and eventual winner Seth Rollins. WWE surely did a good job with Andrade at this year's Rumble and the company needs to make sure that he is been booked properly on the Road to WrestleMania 35.
In my opinion, though, the perfect idea from here onwards would be to have Andrade and Randy Orton face off against each other and a match at 'Mania 35 would make all the sense in the world, with obviously, 'El Idolo' going over in this one.
