Predicting the next 5 WWE Champions

#2 Randy Orton could become an 11-time WWE Champion by dethroning Keith Lee

Randy Orton and Keith Lee were on-screen rivals last year.

Randy Orton has held the WWE Championship an astounding ten times. He last won the coveted prize in October but had a short reign. It is impossible to keep the Apex Predator out of the title picture for long. Hence, Orton would likely insert himself into the fray after WrestleMania 38. Based on the prediction in the previous slide, Keith Lee would be WWE Champion at the time.

Keith Lee and Randy Orton are no strangers to each other. The Viper was Lee's first prominent opponent on the main roster. They fought together at Payback 2020, where the Limitless One defeated the veteran convincingly.

They could renew if Lee wins his first WWE Championship. If that happens, the chances are that Orton could win his 15th World Championship.

It may seem hasty and ill-advised to have Lee lose the title to Orton, but it makes sense from a storyline perspective. The Viper was his first rival on the main roster, and Orton wouldn't be pleased to witness Lee's rise. Hence, having the Apex Predator dethrone the Limitless One to become WWE Champion isn't a bad idea.
