4 NXT stars Randy Orton could recruit at WWE Survivor Series 2023

WWE Survivor Series WarGames 2023 Premium Live Event is rapidly approaching. The last of the Big Four shows is just a week and a half away, as it will air on Saturday, November 25th.

The event will take place at the Allstate Arena in Chicago. According to WrestleTix, over 16,000 tickets have been distributed, and there may be as many as 17,000 fans in attendance.

So far, one big-time WarGames Match has been confirmed for the show. The Judgment Day's JD McDonagh, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, and Dominik Mysterio will battle the team of babyfaces, including Jey Uso, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, and Sami Zayn.

There is a belief among fans that the bout will add more members, with The Judgment Day gaining Drew McIntyre to their side. Meanwhile, the babyface quartet could feature the returning Randy Orton. The Viper's return would be a big deal, but he might not come alone.

The Legend Killer was spotted at the Performance Center not too long ago. While there, he may have taken a NXT star of two under his wing. In this article, we will look at a handful of stars from NXT who Orton could bring with him upon his return at Survivor Series.

Below are four NXT stars Randy Orton could recruit at WWE Survivor Series 2023.

#4. Bron Breakker could be groomed by The Viper

Bron Breakker is an explosive athlete. He's a second-generation superstar, as he's the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rick Steiner. That means former WCW World Champion Scott Steiner is Bron's uncle.

The Big Bad Booty Nephew is a top star on WWE NXT. Bron Breakker was the face of NXT 2.0 prior to the brand evolving to the white & gold era. He's also a two-time NXT Champion, a feat very few men have accomplished.

Like Orton, Bron is a generational superstar, so the two have an immediate link. Beyond that, Breakker's aggression and willingness to hurt anybody he can is very similar to Randy Orton. They could bond, and Bron could help Randy in WarGames.

#3. Von Wagner could be the former WWE Champion's bodyguard

Von Wagner on NXT

Bron Breakker is not the only second-generation superstar on NXT. Von Wagner is also the son of a legend, as his father is Wayne Bloom, perhaps best known for his time in The Beverly Brothers.

Von Wagner isn't living in his father's shadow, however, as he's forging his own path on WWE NXT. Von is technically a free agent, meaning he can appear on any brand, but he has remained in developmental alongside his manager and friend, Mr. Stone.

Randy Orton may be wise to bring Von Wagner with him to Survivor Series WarGames. Von is one of only a few superstars who can match size and strength with Damian Priest. He could make sure that The Archer Of Infamy doesn't do anything nefarious.

#2. Orton could bring in Lyra Valkyria to fight off Rhea Ripley

Lyra Valkyria of NXT.

Lyra Valkyria is one of the most talented women in pro wrestling. The Irish star first joined WWE through NXT UK but currently resides on the NXT brand. Her inspiration and mentor is the legendary Becky Lynch.

The Irish star is rising through the ranks of pro wrestling. After being a contender for some time, she dethroned her mentor, Becky Lynch, and is now the reigning NXT Women's Champion. She will defend the coveted prize against WWE RAW's Xia Li.

Rhea Ripley is the biggest threat to the babyface team at Survivor Series WarGames. Lyra has a history with The Eradicator, so she'd be the perfect choice to counteract that major threat. If Orton does indeed return, he should consider bringing the NXT Women's Champion with him.

#1. Lexis King could make for an intriguing partner

Lexis King is a controversial star. He is the son of WWE legend Brian Pillman, but that isn't a fact he's proud of. On the contrary, King shows contempt for his late father and intends to set out on his own unique path.

Interestingly, he used to wrestle as Brian Pillman Jr. He held the MLW Tag Team Titles under that name. King also used the Brian Pillman Jr. name in All Elite Wrestling. He left AEW to sign with WWE not too long ago.

While Lexis is a heel and clearly not trustworthy, Orton could potentially groom him for greatness. Bringing King in at Survivor Series would be less about helping the team and more so about giving the young star a close-up view of how the top dogs in the industry battle it out.
