Render him as functionally incapacitated via Diana's lasso (not a "permanent" solution, but it could do in a pinch).
EDIT: Dammit... keep responding to people without weighing in...
I am leaning towards Gladiator/Sentry, in general, though Orion and Wonder Woman can dish it with the best of them.
The one thing that really keeps me hedging is Diana's lasso; both Gladiator and Sentry can be messed with mentally, do one degree or another, and the lasso can shatter the psyche of those who have any hidden insecurities or uncertainties (which is why Diana doesn't always use it one certain people); if she were able to get it on either of them, then she and Orion could contain/eventually overwhelm the other, given time. But that can be a big if -- she's been able to lasso Superman, but also not if he is prepared and actively avoiding it, and she, Supes, Gladiator, and Sentry are all in the same ballpark of speed/reflexes (if not exactly).
A tough call, but I think I have to side with Gladiator/Sentry, with a viable chance for winning for Team 1.

Wonder Woman is arguably almost as fast and Orion has great reflexes which are enhanced by the motherbox. When he fights Superman he usually draws for a good reason.
I agree.
One thing alot of people miss if they don't keep up with JL over the past ten years is that Diana's combat reflexes are actually faster than Superman's (as he acknowledges himself, and has been demonstrated on several occasions, with the most recent reference being their last fight with Amazo, where she commented -- via wordbox -- about Amazo's attacks "Hera, he's fast -- faster than Clark *Amazo hits her* -- fast as me..."😉 I would say that puts her at least on par with Gladiator and Sentry.
Still, though, I give the edge to the latter, with the lasso making for the win if she can make it connect (then Orion's powers allow for the win).
Close... but still Team #2...
