Kane's Cheap Win, Orton's Promo

A few days ago, I talked about what I did not like in the Wrestlemania feud between Randy Orton and Kane. It was the fact that Kane did not have much momentum on his side. I think what happened on Raw this week better shows what I am talking about.

First, Kane took on Big Show. The match quality was not super, but that was not the point of this match. Big Show actually looked like he was going to win the match against monster Kane, until Cody Rhodes interfered in the end. That set up Kane getting the win. Cheap win. Of course, this match was really more about Big Show and Cody Rhodes, not Kane and Orton. That is why Kane split from the scene soon after winning. Cody Rhodes then destroyed Big Show, adding more fuel to that feud. Kane was mainly just supporting cast in this segment.

Later on in the show, the feud between Kane and Randy Orton got a little more proper development. Randy Orton did an interview. He hyped the storyline reason for this feud. That was pretty much it, but I am just getting this vibe that Orton is the guy to beat in this feud. He basically put over that he was the one that broke Kane down, psychologically, and led to him bringing back the mask, turning heel, and trying to be a monster again. Orton still feels above Kane. I was expecting Kane to try to attack him, come on the screen to offer a response, or at least fire off the pyro to send Orton a message. Nothing.

Obviously, still a few chances left to really develop this feud better. I do not think it is as poorly developed as some feuds. Both guys here are former World Champions, there is a good storyline present, and there is potential for people not to be absolutely bored with this. But if Kane really ends up losing the feud at this point, he will look pretty pathetic. That is no problem for Kane, but a storyline that is developed well has a better chance to interest fans. Depending on how you build the momentum, you can get a lot of fans wanting to see a certain outcome happen. Does the WWE really want Kane to win at Wrestlemania? Right now, and this is coming from an Orton fan, I would rather see Kane win over Orton. Can Kane get his vengeance against the man who made him human? To me, that is what this feud seems to be about so far.
