Christian/Orton: Week 7 - How's The Head, Randy?

It is always interesting when something in real life spices up a wrestling storyline. When I say that, I do not mean kills off the storyline completely or sends it into a horrible direction that the general audience hates. I am thinking about the recent storyline with Kharma and last year's farewell angle they gave Mickie James. When I say "spices up", I am thinking more along the lines of when Undertaker got injured last year and they made an elaborate storyline out of it, which led to Kane winning a World title again for the first time in years.

Recently, according to Randy Orton himself, the current World Champion over on Smackdown suffered a concussion. The angle they were pushing on Raw and Smackdown this week is based on facts it seems. No worries, Orton seems good to go for his title defense. Nevertheless, I found the injury angle a little interesting. It definitely raised questions that might interest viewers to tune in. If Orton cannot get physical, will he lose control and still get in trouble? Will he be fine, in terms of storyline, for his match? I can picture them working that concussion angle into the match. That being said, do not expect it to be as amazing as their previous matches. Both Christian and Orton were faces there too. Different story to the match.

The storyline also looked a little more interesting on Smackdown. Heel Christian took on heel Sheamus. Face vs. Face happens more often than heel vs. heel, even though both are not norms and frequent in the WWE. Orton also punted Sheamus. Depending on how long the WWE will sell Sheamus being out, that may have been a questionable decision. Who is heel Christian suppose to team with if Sheamus and Mark Henry pretty much got taken out? Is Wade Barrett going to drop his title and get pushed up the card again?

To the most important matter. The PPV is here. Christian gets another rematch. I want heel Christian to win, but I am not feeling it quite yet. I think they should build up the moment a little more. Have this match end without a decisive winner. Even if they do hand Christian back the title, the feud with Orton will probably not end there, assuming Orton's health does hold up throughout everything. Either way, the elaborate storyline will continue. Having Orton win clean and leave it at that would be the worst end to the match. How could they continue the feud interestingly enough after doing that? If Orton does sneak out a win with an RKO out of nowhere, at least have Christian attack him after the match. Even then, I don't think Orton needs to beat Christian 3 times clean in the last few months in title matches. Christian already turned heel. The storyline does not need booking like that until Orton is possibly ready to win the title back from a well-built heel Champion Christian.
