WWE Stars To Join New Randy Orton Faction

WWE

Randy Orton is currently one of WWE’s most popular babyfaces — but how long will that last?

The vast majority of Orton’s near two-and-a-half decade career has been spent as a heel, and seeds are clearly being planted for him to return to his natural role.

It appears Orton’s current alliance with Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes is destined to implode – likely before the end of the year – and feuding with Rhodes could once again see Orton recruit his own faction.

Just as he did with Legacy — the group that first introduced Rhodes to WWE programming — we could see Orton look to WWE’s younger stars, perhaps several names from NXT, to form a new generation of allies.

6. Oba Femi

Oba Femi has impressed this year on NXT programming.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a dominant run as NXT Champion and, more importantly, has developed into an effective big man — combining presence and charisma with an explosive, power-based moveset.

Femi looks more than ready for WWE’s main roster, and the fact he hasn’t wrestled on NXT television since losing the title to Ricky Saints last month suggests that call-up could be coming very soon.

Every faction needs an enforcer, and this is a role Femi could play perfectly.
