a feud with aj styles
If Randy Orton is returning as a mean guy and aligns himself with Nakamura and his nefarious, dick-punching ways, then a feud with top face AJ Styles would certainly be interesting. After all, there’s no bigger way to make a name for yourself as a bad guy than to take down the resident super hero. People would care more if Orton destroyed AJ Styles than, say, R-Truth or Tye Dillinger.
Some may argue that putting Styles into another dick feud so soon would be tiresome. I agree with that sentiment. But Orton does not have to be a dick puncher. He can just be a total asshole and it would be fine. If Randy were a heel, he’d probably bring it. He’s spoken in the past about how he wants to be a bad guy again. He’d be motivated. And a motivated Randy Orton is nigh untouchable,
People may say that the Apex Predator is boring. or that he does not belong in the WWE Championship picture. To that, I say “nope.” I agree that Randy can be boring at times. However, he is a world class talent. And don’t tell me that you would not want to see Randy Orton v. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship. The matches in such a program would be absolutely stellar, no doubt about it.
If Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura team up and go on a two man power trip and kick ass all over Smackdown, that would be something else. I’d watch that.
It will be interesting to see where the Viper goes from here, and who he strikes next.
