6. Randy Orton Turns on The Authority
An attack by Seth Rollins put Randy Orton on the sidelines with an injury. Upon his return, Rollins was scared about how Orton would react. Surprisingly, Orton fell right back into his role as a heel with The Authority. However, as weeks passed, Orton’s behavior was arousing the suspicions of J&J Security, Rollins’ security team. Orton even went on stage and made fun of The Authority, and then quickly laughed it all off as a joke. Just as Rollins became comfortable, The Viper decided to strike. While in a 2-on-1 handicap match against Roman Reigns, Orton stepped back when Rollins moved to tag him into the match, allowing Reigns to defeat Rollins. However, that wasn’t the end of the story, as Orton delivered one of the most brutal beatings seen in recent years, laughing at Rollins for believing he’d ever forgive him for injuring him. This rivalry continued for several weeks, with Orton delivering plenty of RKOs out of nowhere to Rollins before moving on to a feud with Sheamus.
