Ranking Every WWE Change Affected By The ‘Fiend’ From Worst To Best

4. Randy Orton

Let's get something out of the way quickly: Randy Orton's bandage-esque mask on the 18 January 2021 Raw was a bit rubbish. It made him look more like Dick Beyer's Destroyer than some vengeful Darkman-like victim who had been psychologically damaged.

Give it time though, 'cause Randy's promo-ing (whilst OTT and cartoonish at times) was really good. That's not something any wrestling fan has been able to say about the guy throughout his otherwise Hall Of Fame-worthy career, so such dramatics are very much welcome.

Besides, it's clear that the impact Wyatt's 'Fiend' and his sidekick Alexa Bliss had on him is ripe for further development. As a scarred, tortured and chargrilled martyr, Orton could be in his element. Handsome good looks have always been part of his act anyway, so that can play into his fractured ego story too.

Honestly, stick with this one. It's only number four due to fears that WWE's writers will balls it up, but it could be epic.
