#3. Randy Orton -- Push canceled shortly after making WWE history
Trending
It was 2004, and WWE was aiming for Randy Orton to become the breakout star of Evolution. He seemed to be in the perfect spot, but in wrestling, things don't always work out as planned.
Little did anyone realize that Batista would become the eventual breakout star of Evolution. But in 2004, WWE made sure that Randy Orton broke Brock Lesnar's record as he became the youngest world champion in the company's history.

It happened at SummerSlam 2004 when Randy Orton defeated Chris Benoit. His fellow-Evolution members turned on him, triggering a babyface turn for the 24-year-old Orton.
The only problem was that the turn felt forced, and at the time, Randy Orton wasn't living up to the unrealistic expectations set for him. It wasn't long before he dropped the World Heavyweight title to Triple H, and by 2005, he was a heel again, facing The Undertaker at WrestleMania 22.
In the long run, Vince McMahon canceling Randy Orton's push in 2004 turned out to be beneficial for Orton, Batista, and the entire WWE Universe. Randy Orton wouldn't win another world title until 2007, after which he would hit his prime. He simply wasn't ready for the position he was put in by WWE in 2004.
