Sheamus And Orton Feuding

Sheamus and Randy Orton had some issues even before Sheamus won the briefcase. The feud has continued even after that. You have two former World Champions going at it. Beyond that, is there anything worth saying about this feud? It is pretty boring.

Who should win this feud? Randy Orton is above Sheamus in the WWE hierarchy. He is also the face in the feud. However, Sheamus won the briefcase. If they are really serious about building him back up to be a credible Champion, a victory over someone like Randy Orton should help. Of course, there have been a lot of instances of Mr. Money in the Bank losing a lot. The main reason you can say Sheamus does not need the star building is because he has won World titles before. He has won the Royal Rumble. His momentum does not seem to be there, but he has credibility. I would say they toss Orton a bone and let him win this.

Should Sheamus cash in at Battleground? I will bring that up when I talk about Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar. But as far as cashing in goes, if Sheamus were to cash in around now, how likely is he to win it? Does he seem like a guy that would win the title right now? I don't think so. Seth Rollins has not been the greatest WWE Champion, but Sheamus feels like a boring midcarder, which is much worse. The WWE really needs to do a better job of making Sheamus intriguing.

The same can be said about Randy Orton. This is a dry time for him. I think now would be a good time to pair together two main-eventers or upper-midcarders and let them get the tag titles. Teams like that should not dominate the tag division on a constant basis, but having them win the titles now and then might make title matters exciting again. Look at John Cena and the United States Championship. A lot of fans are praising what is going on there. The situation is not great because it is the United States Championship. The situation is great because John Cena is involved. The WWE will push him well. The tag division is overrun by jobbers. The WWE does not do a good job developing teams prior to winning the titles, they do not let them hold the titles long enough to get great, and then they give the titles to another team that has not been developed well. It doesn't really matter who wins the titles at Battleground. Things will be mediocre. Pair Randy Orton up with another top performer that the company cannot push well right now and let them have a run with the tag titles. They don't need to do open challenges like Cena, but I am sure the fact that two top guys are holding the titles will improve matters in the tag division. It should freshen things up.
