The 10 worst WWE superstars of 2017

Jinder Mahal and the Singh Brothers
Jinder Mahal saw his career peak in 2017, but it wasn't very good for anyone else.

#3 Randy Orton

Randy Orton House of Horrors
Randy Orton's 2017 was a true house of horrors.

Randy Orton might just be the happiest man on the WWE roster to see 2017 go. It's been the worst year of his illustrious career.

He began the year with a dreadful feud with Bray Wyatt and seamlessly transitioned into another one which saw him on the losing end to Jinder Mahal. Of the 10 worst matches of 2017, Randy Orton featured in three of them, and all of those three were in the top five.

Randy Orton existed on SmackDown as something of a zombie this year. Routinely phoning in performances, it often looked like he didn't care, though that's easy to understand given how bad his booking has been. Unfortunately, far more entertaining superstars like Rusev got caught in his crosshairs to make up for his cataclysmic first half of the year.

It didn't help that Randy Orton was a babyface in 2017 when he's far more natural as a heel. I'm sure he'd love to turn in 2018.
