A Randy Orton face turn is expected for WrestleMania season. The latest edition of “Wrestling Observer Radio” shed light on when this turn is expected to take place, and just how Orton will transition from heel back to fan-favorite.
Orton is currently a key player in The Authority. While he has had his issues with Triple H and Stephanie over the years, and even during his time with their corporate faction as of late, Orton has continued to serve as the top main event talent associated with the “COO” and “co-owner of WWE.” It is his frustration with the group that will lead to his rebellion against The Authority in the next few months.
In three or four months, “The Viper” is expected to have had all he can handle of Triple H, Kane, Stephanie McMahon, Seth Rollins, and the newly appointed stooges Jamie Noble and Joey Mercury. Orton has consistently reminded Triple H that he has still yet to receive his rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship after losing it to Daniel Bryn at WrestleMania XXX, which has led to some visible tension between the two men.
Orton is also bubbling with frustration in regards to Mr. Money in the Bank Seth Rollins, who keeps making messes that Kane and Orton are then delegated to cleaning up. All of this tension, all of this frustration is set to boil over for the Apex Predator around the 2015 “Royal Rumble” event, placing a babyface Orton behind the seat of an Anti-Authority vehicle on the “Road to WrestleMania.”
Editor’s Note:
Orton is one of those guys who can always flip flop between heel and face. It’ll be a nice change for a minute, but he’s such a better heel.
