Who should be in line to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 33?

When the dust cleared in the 2017 Royal Rumble match, Randy Orton would be the last man standing. He eliminated Roman Reigns to pull off his second-ever Rumble win (the first came in 2009).

WWE seemed to indicate that Orton will be part of the WrestleMania 33 main event. This hadn’t been clear at first since WWE has two World titles and the ability to maneuver the Rumble winner around the match card in whichever scenario they want. However, it seems that the Viper is guaranteed a spot in the closing bout of the show.

There is still two-plus months until WrestleMania 33, so WWE has time in developing who Orton faces at the Show of Shows. Which WWE stars fit the bill for this and could face him with the WWE Championship potentially on the line?

There are a few options for this, all of whom are top stars on the SmackDown brand. This includes two former World champions and someone who the former Legend Killer is familiar with. Some potential opponents may be obvious, while others could have an outside chance of working with him at WrestleMania.

Just about anyone who Orton faces would make for an intriguing match for him to be involved in, even with WWE featuring him in WrestleMania main events before. The last one came in 2014 at WrestleManai 30 with his WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against Batista and Daniel Bryan.
