“Imagine how high Vince has to be on someone to have Randy Orton put them over clean as a whistle. Orton, doing the best work of his career, wants to help create that next generation of stars. He gets it.”

Furthermore, since Mr. McMahon wanted to push Keith Lee up the ranks, he reckoned the best opponent to do that was Randy Orton.

Now, coming to why Randy Orton agreed to this – he wants to contribute as much as he can in taking the company forward. In fact, reports state that he has started mentoring backstage as well.

Vince McMahon paired his mentoring with his wish to work with NXT talents. Additionally, to grow with the guidance of Randy Orton who has ample experience in the field will be nothing but beneficial for the talents who are making their way to the main roster.

Moreover, Keith Lee being a new transfer from NXT to the main roster, will immensely benefit from working with Randy Orton.

Speculations say that a triple-threat match is brewing where Drew McIntyre will defend his title against Orton and Lee.
