WWE: 10 Reasons Randy Orton Will Struggle For Relevancy After WrestleMania 30

5. The Other Best Opponent For Randy Orton Is Cesaro

If you're not a fan of the superhero-type wrestling match that is Randy Orton versus Roman Reigns, then I'm certain you're a fan of the purists dream match that would be Randy Orton versus Cesaro. If a long-time Cesaro fanatic, you've probably wanted to see Cesaro face Orton since when he was Claudio Castagnoli giving the Alpamare Waterslide to luchadores in Chikaro Pro. Cesaro is ideal for Orton in that they're two of the best in the past twenty years in having that old school wrestler presentation and crisp delivery down to a fine science. Outside of Daniel Bryan, there are few others in World Wrestling Entertainment who excel at execution like these two athletes. their match on Friday Night Smackdown felt like a moment frozen in time, something akin to watching Dory Funk and Jumbo Tsuruta in an All Japan ring in the early 80s or Nick Bockwinkel and Billy Robinson grappling in the AWA in the 70s. Waiting for Cesaro's eventual babyface turn given his recent strife with Real Americans tag partner Jack Swagger only allows for fans to salivate more in waiting for Cesaro and Orton to wrestle once again with something more significant on the line.
