I've enjoyed his 2017 more than most probably. I thought he had good matches with Jinder at MITB and on Smackdown, his #1 contender match with Shinsuke was a really good tv match, and I have a good feeling him and Rusev will kill it.
Also I was fine with the shenanigans involved in the Bray feud, the House of Horrors was for me incredibly stupid, but fun.

His beginning to the year was really great. He had an amazing, maybe most underrated match of the year with Luke Harper at Elimination Chamber. Then he had two good TV matches with John Cena and AJ Styles. Then it all went to crap. The Bray matches were God awful. I liked the first two Jinder matches, but the Punjabi Prison match was horrible. His only good match in 2 months is the Nakamura match. He's on my list somewhere, but no clue where.

He's barely outside my top 100 right now. I liked him when he was part of the Wyatt Family but then things just went off a cliff. He'll have to step his game up to get back on my list.

Not making my list. Only matches I've liked of his this year was the matches with AJ, Nakamura and surprisingly the Backlash match where he dropped the belt to Jinder. Everything else has been bad.

Really bad year for Orton. He's had some good stuff, like the Harper match at Elimination Chamber and A.J. and Nakamura on SDL. And even if I'm not as high as most on the MITB match with Jinder, it was still solid. Everything else has been terrible. Unless he goes on an absolute tear (which I really don't expect), he's not making my list.

Obviously A+ character work (and some damn good matches) during the Harper/Wyatt saga, but he had the worst Mania match, and after that he's just been piss poor. I don't like any of the Jinder matches but I think you could blame Orton just as much as Jinder. Probably won't make my list unless he kills it with Rusev.

Just did some note updating for my #WDKW100 and Randy Orton quietly has slid into my Top 20.
Obviously, your ranking of him will depend on your feelings of that Jinder program.
But he's has a very quiet, sneaky really good year. Very consistent all year long.
The Wyatt Family stuff was good. The Jinder matches were good. The Rusev sprints were good. The Orton No DQ match was good.
Heck of a year from a guy who probably doesn't even have to be a full time guy anymore.
Big fan of Randy Orton's 2017.

Awful, boring, worthless pro wrestler in every way. Like he is every year.
