Update on Randy Orton’s Heel Turn

According to a report by The Wrestling Observer, the highly anticipated “heel turn” of WWE Superstar Randy Orton is still in the works. The 9-time World Champion has been advocating for a change to his “Viper” character for several months, and the current plan is to start the journey towards transitioning Orton back into a villain once WrestleMania is in the books and WWE can fully concentrate on the angle.

The third-generation wrestler has played “babyface” – or, the hero – since defeating Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes in a Triple Threat match at WrestleMania 26.
