#2 Lack of appeal
As we mentioned, Randy Orton really hasn't been setting the world on fire. His character has suffered the past few years and fan interest has gone down. He's still a respected legend, but he never reached the heights that his counterpart John Cena did.

Whether he's demotivated or not is hard to say, but it's possible that WWE recognises what's happening and have accepted it. This may also mean that he'll be sliding down the card in a matter of time, but there's also a possibility that it's not the case.
#1 Costing AJ Styles his Survivor Series match to enter the WWE title picture
Randy Orton hasn't been in the WWE title picture for over 14 months and there's no doubt that he wants to re-enter the picture. Styles and Orton met in a one-off match before WrestleMania last year, in which Orton won.
They kept them apart for a future feud and with AJ Styles having crossed a year as WWE Champion, what better time for a feud with Randy Orton? Orton doesn't even have to win the title, but he could cost AJ Styles his match against Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series and enter the picture.
So far the WWE title picture after Survivor Series looks unclear, so it's going to be really interesting to see where things go!
