7 Reasons Randy Orton Has Nothing Left To Give WWE

The Viper has nothing left to prove. So why come back?

There are few WWE Superstars who have accomplished as much as Randy Orton has in the 13 years since he debuted on WWE's main roster. A third-generation performer who has more than lived up to his potential, Orton has accumulated numerous championship reigns and headlined the biggest events in the world of sports entertainment. In the process, he has become one of the most iconic stars of his generation, the face of an era and the master of one of wrestling's greatest finishing maneuvers, the RKO. But recently, it has become apparent that Orton is not the same guy he once was. Even as recently as this time last year, he was still consistently bringing the goods between the ropes as a member of The Authority. That has sadly not been the case since then. Injuries, a lack of interesting creative and a blossoming family life have led for inconsistencies with regards to his on-screen persona. Orton has never been less relevant than he is right now, and that includes his first few months on WWE TV, when he was a glorified jobber on the SmackDown brand.
