10 Most Likely Challengers To End Seth Rollins' WWE Title Reign

2. Randy Orton

Randy Orton and Seth Rollins have already proven to the wrestling world that they can put on a great match. No question about it, their bout at WrestleMania 31 was solid, and the curb stomp to RKO transition sick. Even with the curb stomp gone, they could work some real magic in the ring. There's already bad blood between them, and it's easy enough to sell this as Orton being furious that despite beating Rollins that night, Rollins left the event WWE Champion. It has already been touched on after all. Orton's about as solid as they come in the WWE these days: talented in all areas of the business. He can work the mic, he can put on great matches, and he has the look. He's been champion before, and losing to him wouldn't necessarily hurt Rollins as a result. He actually makes a better heel than face (and a better heel than Rollins), but the anti-hero role works fine too. In short, he's a real threat any time he's in the title picture. So if the WWE are interested in going the anti-hero, loose cannon route (something Ambrose could arguably pull off as well), Orton will be sitting on the throne when all is said and done.
