Here are some replies that caught our eye and explain the situation that WWE has pushed forward with just one tweet:

There are many people who want Orton to win, like this fan who gives the reason that he shows no signs of retiring, as he is still working full time with WWE. Whereas, ‘The Prototype’ is only one more match away from retirement.

Many people also suggest that John Cena will want Orton to win it, seeing their backstage friendship and long-standing rivalry.

This fan gives a lot of reasons, from longevity to consistency that Randy Orton has shown for over 2 decades on WWE TV. They also call him the greatest superstar and gifted from the beginning.

Some fans think it might be Cena as Orton’s influence and star power have dimmed and WWE might not let ‘THe Legend Killer’ be involved in the main event picture.

Some fans are hoping it to be Orton but like this fan, they think it is going to be Cena as he is a bigger draw for WWE.
