KAYFABE-WISE.. are these the top 10 WWE wrestlers at the moment?

[stro]

who?

But this is kayfabe power rankings and who on that list would be "favored" in a kayfabe Vegas setting?

Strowman: 2 month win streak, been treated as a monster his entire WWE run
Rusev: US Champion, which automatically makes him higher in kayfabe rankings even if he loses matches
Kane: Has lost 1 singles match in about a year, is ALWAYS booked as a threat even if he always loses
Nakamura: Obviously
Joe: Obviously
Asuka: Obviously

The roster is weak as shyt, fukk. Orton having 6 matches in a year could arguably put him in the top 15. The fukk?

Asuka?

LMAO at "obviously" for Joe and Nakamura as if the inclusion of two minor leaguers over Orton doesn’t merit any sort of explanation?

Your list trash in general though.. literally NONE of these guys would be even remotely “favored” in a match with Orton, who just headlined Summerslam against the unquestioned #1 kayfabe superstar in the company and had it treated, at least going into the match, as if they were equals in a “legend vs. legend” setting. It doesn't matter how many matches he's had, the point is in the WWE kayfabe hierarchy, he is easily still viewed as a top 10.

If he went 1 on 1 with Kane on Smackdown, you would expect Kane to win? I'm not even an Orton fan like that but don't be stupid

Orton literally lost to Kane at WM just a couple of years ago. Kane beat him the last time they had a match last Summer. Kayfabe-wise, Kane is always a threat to anyone. Always.

That match was FOUR AND A HALF YEARS AGO. Chris Jericho and CM Punk were in the world title match of that show. This thread is about right now, 2016. In 2016 Orton just main eventer the second biggest PPV of the year, while Kane is a novelty Midcard act who was just a pinch hitter for Orton on the last PPV
