Randy Orton Faces Everyone

Nothing too major changed on Raw. No CM Punk or John Cena. Daniel Bryan is there to fill the void. Aside from him, who else do they have as a top face? Batista? A few issues there, but let me just say that he has not even had a match on Raw or Smackdown yet. Daniel Bryan is carrying things well.

As for Randy Orton, the WWE World's Heavyweight Champion, he has to face all the challengers for his title in the coming weeks in singles matches. I like that idea. Randy Orton and the title get some major attention. That is something I have been complaining about for a while. The title has not been getting enough of the main focus. Of course, Randy Orton lost to Daniel Bryan on Raw. It was a good match. It also featured some interference from Kane, which I will talk about more later. The odds are just stacked against Orton. Usually in these situations, the person with his back to the wall overcomes. The WWE still has time to take this title feud in whatever direction they want. Doing a good job developing the other challengers would be nice. I am not saying Cesaro needs to beat Randy Orton, but make him look credible by doing something other than standing around while Jack Swagger wrestles.

Another story in all this is The Authority once again exhibiting that lack of faith in Randy Orton. Does someone in the WWE really think that dragging this on for so long is a good storyline? They planted the seeds of tension months ago, have gone back and forth, and it just needs to finally go somewhere. I find it annoying. They are having Randy Orton go out there and complain and play the heel. The Authority comes off as tweeners. If there is an eventual split, isn't it likely that Orton will go face? It would be nice if they developed Orton more as a face or tweener. I understand insincerity is part of The Authority's character, but I don't like how they are developing Randy Orton's character, especially if he is the one that turns face in this whole thing eventually.

Back to Kane. As I said, he came out to help Randy Orton. Kane was involved against CM Punk. With Punk out of the picture, that left Kane with nothing to do. Has the WWE found something for him to do? Developing a feud between him and Daniel Bryan? Having him always helping Randy Orton against his 5 challengers? Doing whatever The Authority tells him to do? It doesn't look like he has a strong purpose right now, but at least he gets to do something. In terms of people that were screwed out of things with what happened last week, Kane is definitely on that list. His feud with CM Punk most likely would have ended with CM Punk overcoming him, but it was still a feud for Kane. There is still time for the WWE to develop some kind of feud for Kane for Elimination Chamber.
