Orton Ready For A Heel Turn?

The seeds seem to be planted for Randy Orton turning heel. Not only did he RKO both John Cena and Daniel Bryan on Raw, but when The Shield came back in the ring, Orton just walked away. The turn has not happened yet, but they do seem to be aiming in that direction. As I have said before, they could use some new top heels. Turning Orton is an option.

Aside from changing alignment, can this lead to even more change for Orton's character? Being heel/face isn't the whole story to a wrestler's character. Gimmick and emotion they showcase also counts. Look at Chris Jericho. He has played different heel characters throughout his career. The serious character he started playing in 2008 was definitely something new for him. What kind of change of character could be in store for Randy Orton? Vince McMahon seems to be looking for someone he likes to be WWE Champion. He is looking for that "corporate" Champion. What if Orton turns heel by aligning with him and develops a "corporate" gimmick. Could he pull it off? Start wearing suits? Shave? I could picture a younger Randy Orton doing it back when he was more cocky. Now? Can't tell. But a change in character would be good for Orton, beyond just a heel turn.
