WWE fans are often split in their opinions about Randy Orton, with some hailing him as one of the greats while others say that despite his achievements, his style can sometimes be boring. Regardless of what you feel about Randy Orton, one thing is for sure - he is one of the most popular Superstars on the WWE roster right now and brings eyeballs to the product. Orton also has a ton of mainstream name recognition, something a lot of NXT Superstars don't have.

Despite having a good show on most weeks, NXT is struggling in the ratings war with AEW on Wednesday nights. If NXT want back the initiative on Wednesday nights, they need someone just like Randy Orton to turn the tide. Orton can really move the needle for the Black and Gold brand with a short run there.

Randy Orton can help bring a lot of casual fans to the NXT product, some of whom may never really have given the Black and Gold brand a shot before. One thing is for sure, fans new to NXT won't leave disappointed.
