#2. Randy Orton
Orton won Royal Rumble for the second time in his career when he eliminated Roman Reigns this year in the Rumble match. He and Bray were involved in a long feud, where we saw Randy going to the bad side, joining Bray and then betraying him. An RKO out of nowhere made sure Orton won his 9th WWE and 13th overall World Championship.
The Viper, however, lost his title to Jinder Mahal at Backlash. It was one of the most shocking moments of the year. Orton, however, got his momentum back and defeated Rusev at Summerslam in less than ten seconds. He emerged victorious again at Hell in a Cell.
The next stop for Randy can be the US Title. Corbin will have to be cautious at all times because the Viper can strike at any time.
