5 Wrestlers WWE will bury in 2017

#5 Randy Orton

Randy Orton’s days as a title contender may be numbered

I really hate saying this, but I don't see how the 12-time world champion can have a major role on either brand. Injuries and time off, have hurt him. He is still somewhat robotic, although he is better on the mic.

While I see another match with Bray Wyatt and a future with Luke harper, where else does he go? Dolph Ziggler might be an option, and maybe The Miz, but there is little opportunity unless he turns heel once more.

Orton is caught in a numbers game, and the fact that he achieved everything he set out to do means there's nowhere else for him to go. It's sad, but it's the truth. And for a man in his mid-30s, this might be the last time we see Orton as part of a major wrestling program.
