Usos, Orton Considering Leaving (RUMOR)

I have to say, this would be a blow to WWE. The Usos have consistently been the best tag team in WWE since dropping the face paint a couple years ago. They elevate every team they work with so WWE should prioritize keeping them.

As for the brief mention of Orton, I kind if like the idea of seeing him elsewhere. He's never been outside the WWE system, so he could have some outstanding persona just waiting to break out.

I really want all three of them to end up in AEW. The Usos have been used okay but pretty much every match with them that's worth seeing has been done to death already, except the Revival but we all know they're AEW-bound anyway, and Orton's just gotten tired where he is while clearly having much more fun in his work when he has more creative freedom. Plus while most every WWE match for Orton's been exhausted it'd be amazing to see all the new blood AEW would have to take RKOs in inventive ways.

"WE KNOW WHO THAT IS!"

[Push R Truth]

I'm ok with this even though I like all 3 of them. They just have really, well, stagnated. New scenery or extended time off would be nice.

[Dub H]

Orton is a surprise. But it wouldnt shock me that WWE doesnt let him work the character he wants,that he so well off that he can take risks at this point in the career.

Orton I can't see leaving. The Usos on the other hand could be interesting.

The Usos debuting with Ambrose could be an amazing stable. Not only can all of them go but they've got ties.

The sad thing is, I don't think it would be, precisely because of all the things wrong with WWE. They've spent over a decade now working to homogenize the product so that no individual performers will stand out as bigger stars than the WWE Universe brand as a whole. Which is a good part of why WWE has atrophied into their current state, but also means that by design there's nobody on the fulltime roster who matters enough that their departure will really make an impact.

I would love to see them in a new environment but part of me can’t help but think this part of a bargaining chip. Especially with them fat tv deals that got signed? Ah nah, you gotta break off some of that bread

THE BLOODLINE.

ITS JON MOXLEY AND USHOES!!!

I don't want to be a wet blanket here, but I think that a lot of these guys who are rumored to not want to re-sign with WWE have no intention of actually leaving, but are just holding out for more money, which I can't say that I blame them about. This is the perfect time for a wrestler to renegotiate with WWE, as they have the fear of the unknown in AEW.

[Vice honcho room temperature]

Randy Orton sucks so it would be a positive if he left

And hey, props. Capitalize on the best opportunity for talent to take advantage of the TV deal bump.

I really want to see Ambrose and the Usos unfiltered. Imagine the Usos calling someone punch ass bitches, markass tricks or even them saying something that wouldn't get pass WWE today lmao.

"It's Jox Moxley and The Fatusos!!" or something. Shit, they can be called "3J" because their names begin with J.

[brettappedout (BLM)]

As someone pointed out in a different thread about Orton towering over Ali. f***ing in AEW might Orton might as well be The Great Khali!

[Pushed to the Moon]

I'd be interested in seeing an RKO on all the vanilla midgets after some attempted flippy shit.

[Prince Petty]

Well, we have to invoke AEW here, but I imagine the Usos would really like the idea of going somewhere that's going to treat tag team wrestling seriously. With the Young Bucks helping to run that place, you know the tag division is going to be a major feature.

As for Orton, I feel he'd be more likely to retire. He's been wrestling for almost twenty years, probably has more money than he knows what to do with, and recent interviews make him sound like he really enjoys being a family man, with his wife and stepchildren.

Im really happy these dudes, plus AJ, plus whoever else are now able to leverage more money and demands off of WWE.

[Deleted]

Get more of that money from WWE, boys.

Orton debuts on AEW's Halloween show under a mask as "The AEW Phantom" against a rising star. He beats said star with the RKO, and the announcers say that move reminds them of a certain move.

Then later in the show he unmasks with his new manager.
