10 Major Stars That Could Leave WWE Next
8. Randy Orton
Randy Orton pretty much completed the game as a WWE Superstar in 2022, when he preceded a long injury lay-off acquiring the one thing that had looked out of reach for almost all of his two decades in the spotlight - genuine critical acclaim.
Alongside RK-Bro partner Matt Riddle, Orton earned raves as the much-needed veteran presence in his pillock mate's corner, and the two of them went through a laundry list of opponents as Raw Tag Team Champions before losing the belts to The Usos in a choice offering on the May 20th edition of SmackDown.
It proved to be his last match as of writing.
Orton's been dealing with a back injury ever since, and as recently as the first week of 2023, there was reportedly a lot of concern internally about his health and healing. Might 'The Viper' view all this as a sign in and of itself?
While the bulk of his in-ring hasn't always been for everybody, Orton's legacy is now assured and that'll only grow with time. Longer careers are now thankfully becoming the norm but the 'Apex Predator' jumped in when that wasn't always the case - he can look back on his 20 years with pride if he elects to put on a bow it with plenty of life left to live.
