Why Randy Orton is Predictable, According to WWE RAW Star
Wrestling Veteran on The Apex Predator
Orton’s next move may be obvious but he can still execute it perfectly
Randy Orton’s “clinical,” methodical style in the ring is undoubtedly effective, but one WWE veteran believes that it may also be his greatest weakness.
Orton is set to challenge Riddle for the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship at the upcoming Clash at the Castle premium live event in Cardiff, Wales.
Ahead of the high-stakes match, WWE RAW Superstar Shelton Benjamin spoke to Sportskeeda about Orton’s in-ring style. Benjamin praised Orton’s execution but suggested that his predictability may leave him vulnerable against certain opponents.
- Predictability can be a strength: Benjamin noted that Orton’s methodical approach allows him to execute his moves with precision.
- Predictability can also be a weakness: However, Benjamin believes that Orton’s established patterns may make it easier for opponents to anticipate and counter his attacks.
- Riddle’s style could exploit Orton’s predictability: Benjamin specifically mentioned that Riddle’s unpredictable, improvisational style could pose a significant challenge to Orton.
Benjamin’s comments echo those made by other wrestling analysts, who have also suggested that Orton’s predictability may limit his ability to adapt to different opponents and situations.
Despite these concerns, Orton remains one of the most successful and respected wrestlers in WWE history. His ability to consistently deliver high-quality matches, regardless of his opponent, is a testament to his skill and experience.
It remains to be seen whether Orton’s predictability will be a factor in his upcoming match against Riddle. However, Benjamin’s comments serve as a reminder that even the most established wrestlers can have weaknesses that their opponents can exploit.
