WWE star Randy Orton could be looking to recruit a stable of allies as he continues to battle his enemies on SmackDown.
From his NXT doppelgänger to an alternate persona of an already known main roster star – there are some very compelling options of which WWE stars could join forces with The Viper.
Here are seven new WWE stars that could debut with Randy Orton.
7. Myles Borne
The most obvious choice to join forces with Randy Orton is Myles Borne.
The NXT standout already boasted a striking resemblance to The Viper when he was signed with WWE but has truly blossomed into a star.
Continuing to have a compelling singles run after departing the No Quarter Catch Crew, it seems like only a matter of time before Borne does even bigger things.
If Randy Orton were recruiting for a new stable, Myles Borne is definitely the top choice from the current NXT roster.

6. Lance Anoa’i
When Lance Anoa’i signed with WWE back in July 2024, it was rumored he would be debuting in NXT.
However he has still yet to make his official on-screen debut in WWE after having previously appeared as enhancement talent. Aligning on-screen with Randy Orton, the new star could avoid NXT entirely and debut straight to the main roster.
Teasing a potential alliance between Randy Orton and the Bloodline, the presence of Lance Anoa’i as Orton’s backup could lead to a powerful mystery to be solved.
In the end, it could be The Rock, Roman Reigns or any number of others that ‘loan’ Lance Anoa’i to Randy Orton for the heelish purposes of toppling Cody Rhodes.

5. Jordynne Grace
One alliance that could end up being legendary would be that of Jordynne Grace and Randy Orton.
While there could be darkness brewing inside Randy Orton, he is still very much a babyface on the roster.
Having been presented as a babyface thus far during her time in NXT, Grace could definitely join the main roster in an Orton-led squad.
Potentially an iconic bodyguard for Randy Orton, Jordynne Grace would get an amazing introduction to main roster as either a babyface or a heel.

4. Tony D’Angelo
After being seemingly written off of NXT TV, Tony D’Angelo has yet to make an appearance on the main roster.
While his NXT character could very well be sleeping with the fishes after the last scene featuring him on NXT TV was in homage to the series finale of The Sopranos – a cliffhanger ending that has never been solved.
However whether or not he is set to debut a new iteration, Tony D could still make a great addition to a stable surrounding Randy Orton.
The former NXT North American Champion is no stranger to factions but moreover could provide legitimate muscle to protect Orton regardless of whether they were up to bad or good.

3. A-Kid (Axiom)
Looking for new stars to join his faction, Randy Orton could be wise to recruit A-Kid.
While he has technically already debuted on the main roster of course – since he is the alter-ego of current SmackDown star Axiom.
However, A-Kid hasn’t been seen much since his NXT UK days but perhaps Randy Orton could encourage him back into the spotlight.
With the potential that Nathan Frazer could hop brands to join Seth Rollins’ The Vision faction, having A-Kid debut with Randy Orton would be an amazing move for the former NXT Tag Team Champion.

2. Je’Von Evans
A standout from NXT, Je’Von Evans faced off against Randy Orton on an episode of NXT back in October 2024.
Nearly a year later, it could be time for Evans to join up with Orton on the main roster.
Able to be a convincing babyface or heel, Je’Von could definitely make the move to join Randy Orton’s new stable regardless of what their intentions were.
Proving himself to be a formidable foe, Je’Von Evans might be the perfect combination of speed and strength to back-up Randy Orton.

1. Joe Hendry
Although he is still signed to TNA Wrestling now, the future seems to hold big things for Joe Hendry in WWE.
Already having faced Orton at WrestleMania 41 in a big surprise appearance, the duo could get link up once again to reign supreme as babyfaces on SmackDown.
With the pair of beloved favorites both being well-received by the crowd, joining forces with the very squeaky clean Hendry could re-activate some of Orton’s more mischievous impulses.
This pairing would be very dependent on what the future holds for the character of Randy Orton as with a potential turn to the dark side looming, he could still befriend Hendry only to immediately break fans hearts by betraying him.
