8 current and former WWE superstars ready for comic book projects
By Mark Lynch
Randy Orton
Randy Orton has a knack for playing someone you should hate. His sneaky ways and deplorable actions made him an elite heel throughout his entire career. He doesn’t talk much, but he doesn’t have to. Orton can make you detest him just from the look on his face (before the heinous actions that the Viper usually commits on his fellow WWE superstars). It’s a talent that many people can’t emulate.
Randy Orton is the perfect person to play a villain fighting the likes of Daredevil, Moon Knight, or the Punisher. The perfect pick would be Bushwacker. He’s an absolute psychopath and would definitely fit well on an adult Marvel Comics project. This could be a one shot or a recurring role.
Alexa Bliss
Whatever Alexa Bliss portrays, she does it well. She’s been loved and hated by the crowd and she’s played arrogant, mean, and scary. The latter has been a joy. Her new scary persona has been creepy, but she’s made it work. Hopefully, this gimmick stays around for a while.
The easy thing would be to say she should play Harley Quinn. But that’s too simple. But that doesn’t mean she couldn’t play a different menacing character. In fact, Bliss could be The Joker’s newest sidekick Punchline. She could do all the crazy with toned down wackiness. Plus, she would get to show off the cruelness that the Alexa Bliss character does so flawlessly.
It goes without saying that she would nail this role.
