Ranking All Of Randy Orton's Alliances, Stables And Partnerships In WWE

After feeling outnumbered by The New Day, Randy Orton recently forged a friendship with The Revival to even the odds, and it's been the best thing to happen to all three guys in some time. They've shown excellent chemistry throughout their rivalry with New Day, which should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Orton's decorated past in relation to factions.

Orton was basically brought up in WWE as part of a stable in Evolution and went on to be a part of many more over the course of his career. Interestingly enough, The Apex Predator is the kind of character you would expect to fly solo, if only because he can rarely be trusted and has been betrayed before, but that hasn't stopped Superstars from aligning with him over the years.

It's for good reason, too, as Orton has never ceased to find success with stables. He has won tag team title gold with a few different partners, helped hand The Shield their very first loss in 2013, and has always felt cooler with a crew of cronies doing his bidding for him.

It's hard to say how long this trio of Orton, Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder will last, but if it's anything like these other Orton alliances, it likely don't end well for the former Raw Tag Team champions. In other words, friend or foe, everyone eats an RKO eventually.

Unless he's surrounded by Superstars he knows he can trust, Randy Orton seems to pride himself on being a loner. When it comes to fighting a common cause, however, he has let his guard down at times and teamed up with wrestlers he normally wouldn't.

In other words, yes, the trio of Orton, Big Show and Sheamus on paper was every bit as random six years ago as it is today. The three of them didn't share many similarities aside from how they all had their respective run-ins with The Shield in the first few months of 2013, and that was what ultimately brought them together.

Sheamus had already lost to The Shield alongside John Cena and Ryback at Elimination Chamber but picked up two new partners in Orton and Show on the road to WrestleMania 29. It took time for Orton and Sheamus to convince Show of their plan at first to decimate The Shield, but once they all got on the same page, they were a seemingly unstoppable unit.

Despite having momentum on their side heading into WrestleMania, their partnership fell apart when Orton tagged himself in during the six-man tag team match at the event and got himself pinned. The World's Largest Athlete knocked out both of his partners afterward, ending their alliance in the process.
