5 things Randy Orton should do before his WWE career ends

Randy Orton has been in multiple factions in the past

#4 Reduce his TV schedule

Wha
What's the point in using Randy Orton in mediocre storylines?

With the obvious exception of a few long-term injuries, Randy Orton had been a full-time WWE Superstar from the time he made his main-roster debut in 2002 until the summer of 2017, when he began working a limited schedule for live events.

Since then, it feels like WWE has compensated for his lack of live event dates by using him (or, rather, misusing him) more frequently on television in underwhelming rivalries that come across like a demotion for somebody of Orton’s calibre.

Losing in three straight PPV title matches to Jinder Mahal? Not good. Doing Shane McMahon’s dirty work for him against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn for no real reason? Not good. Losing the United States title just four weeks into his first reign? Again, not good.

If WWE really wants Orton to stay relevant for as long as possible, perhaps they would be better served using more of his dates on live events and only put him on television when there’s a storyline befitting of his character.
