10 Quick WWE Fixes To Save Randy Orton

10. Tag Teaming

Orton was last relevant in the winter of last year.

His partnership with Bray Wyatt - before it all went t*ts up in some of the most embarrassing WWE matches this side of cement and swimming pools - was refreshing because it refreshed two staler-than-week-old bread acts in a two birds one stone booking strategy calibrated by a creative team firing on all cylinders.

Just do it again. The Legacy faction was a dud in execution. But Orton mostly tends to play well with others. Plus, it creates scope to literally dilute Orton's tiresome presence on WWE TV while simultaneously avoiding meaningless programmes with the likes of Rusev, which exist only to keep him simmering - which is rather self-defeating, given that the problem with Orton is that he is nothing if not lukewarm.

As for potential candidates...Baron Corbin is Orton's spiritual successor in everything but natural ability - a Rated RKO-esque partnership might provide the comparatively clunky Lone Wolf with valuable on-the-job experience. Kevin Owens has stuttered following his switch to SmackDown. Perhaps teaming with Orton would provide a platform for an experimental babyface turn.
