It looks like the steps to develop a new face of the WWE may be moving along. Randy Orton defeated everyone else in his way tonight to win the WWE Championship from Sheamus. I am between being shocked and having expected it. I would have been shocked if Edge won it. He's just a main-event heel jobber these days. I was expecting Sheamus to retain. But the WWE had been pumping Orton with momentum for weeks now. By my look, he has only lost momentum once in the weeks leading up to this match, and that was when Wade Barrett pinned him on Raw in an elimination tag match. Orton even went over Cena.
Long time ago, I asked how Orton and Cena could both coexist on Raw as faces. Now it is going to get interesting. Over the last few weeks, Cena has definitely been pushed down in favor of Orton. If this keeps up, it will not be just an issue of whether Cena is face of the company, but whether he stays face at all. Different meaning for "face" there, but the idea is there. How may heel Cena work out now?
