There’s something different about him. Appearance is one of the most important things about a wrestler’s career. If you do not look the right way, there are only so many paths forward for a wrestler’s career. At the end of the day, wrestling is built on getting someone’s attention and the wrong look may cause some issues. Now one major star has changed up their look in a big way.
One of the bigger stories taking place on Monday Night Raw at the moment is the situation between Randy Orton and the Fiend. Orton set the Fiend on fire at Tables, Ladders And Chairs and the Fiend has not been seen since. Fiend’s disciple Alexa Bliss burned Orton’s face with a fireball, causing Orton to don a mask as a result. Orton is back though, and now things look a bit different.
Well that’s different. Check out how the return went:
Orton appeared at the end of this week’s Monday Night Raw to give Bliss an RKO, costing her a shot at the Raw Women’s Title in the process. Orton now has several burns on his face following Bliss’ fireball two weeks ago. This is the first time that Orton has been seen without the mask since his return. There is no word on when Orton will be getting back in the ring.
Opinion: I’m not sure where this is going but there seems to be a chance that we could be going all the way to WrestleMania 37 with Orton vs. the Fiend. The story has been going on for a long time now and it wouldn’t surprise me to see it stretched out that much further. I may not seem like the best idea in the world, but at least they seem to have something planned from here. I’m just not sure what it is.
