WWE SmackDown Live: 4 Superstars who could answer Kofi Kingston's SummerSlam challenge

#1 Randy Orton

Are we looking at the next WWE Champion?

Randy Orton pinning Kofi Kingston wouldn't be a big deal if it happened five years ago, but the times have changed and Orton's win over Kingston on last week's SmackDown Live means that he's next in line for a WWE Championship opportunity.

Randy Orton took a brief hiatus from the WWE after his win over Triple H at Super ShowDown to heal some injuries. He made his return on last week's Raw and competed in a fatal four-way match to determine the No.1 contender for the Universal Championship which was won by Seth Rollins.

Orton returned to SmackDown Live and confronted Kofi Kingston and made his intentions clear that he's coming after the WWE Championship. Orton got a clean victory over Kingston in the six-man tag team match, and he is the favorite to be Kingston's SummerSlam opponent.

Orton will be one of the Superstars to answer Kingston's challenge, and he could come out victorious in the No.1 contender's match and go on to SummerSlam to face Kofi Kingston for the WWE Championship.
