Exclusive: Backstage Talk On Future Plans For Randy Orton
WZ has confirmed via backstage WWE sources that rumors of Randy Orton being pushed back to the top of the card is very much a priority over the next six months.
In addition to focus being put back on the third-generation star, a heel turn for his character is expected. One source even noted the heel turn has been a discussed possibility to happen as soon as this Sunday's Survivor Series.
There has been concern of Orton turning heel because he's been a top face for the Smackdown live events, but we've learned the general internal feeling has changed. Now it seems WWE officials realize a heel turn is probably the best use of Orton's talents and will make him happy personally as he's expressed how he likes to play a heel rather than face. In terms of not having him as a face that sells tickets, we're told WWE realizes Orton as a great heel could help develop a face and mold that talent into a potential big ticket seller.

Could care less about Orton... he's been back & forth... I just do not have any interest in him at all. Miz turning face could be interesting, I loved his world title run & i think there's still a lot of potential for him. Also been reading about the possible Punk-Foley match maybe at TLC in Dec... I say do it, have it for the belt, and see what Punk can do with an over the hill Foley. Plus it's a perfect set up for the Rock & Punk at the RR.

If Flair and Foley can have a badass hardcore match the way they did in TNA, Punk v. Foley could be epic.

Miz is still one of my favorites. I'd love for him to get a push as a face

Word is Punk is scheduled to be in the final match at Mania.
Rocky might not be winning at the Rumble after all. I have no interest in a triple threat though.

Foley can barely move. His strong point is that he can take a bump and get back up. I can see Foley being used as a punching bag for building up Punk.

most casual WWE fans don't even know what it means, so i assumed it was something legit
Nothing means anything anymore. Only when somebody seriously gets hurt do you show the X. I agree with you completely.

This would jive with the talk that Wrestlemania is Punk's final match.

maybe it's only when the Refs throw up the X? I thought that part was pretty stupid, but it made sense for Punk to come down... was happy to hear he may finally main event a Wrestle Mania, the guy deserves it & Mania needs a strong match to close the show.
