8- Randy Orton
This year saw the much anticipated heel turn of Randy Orton, and the turn once again proved that he is more effective as a bad guy than being the fan favorite.
Orton spend a huge chunk of the year in a feud with The Shield before his eventual turn and the whole Authority angle added a bit more spice to the proceedings. He then became the “Face of the company” and knocked Daniel Bryan out of the title picture.
Being one of those established stars in the company, Orton just had one of those ordinary years which had many highs and lows. But he stuck around the main event scene and produced many solid performances which make his one of the best performers of the year.
