9 Next WWE Steps For Randy Orton

9. Loosen Up!

Before we discuss any possible opponents or feuds for Orton, I want to address his character briefly.

When he first returned, he seemed somewhat rejuvenated. All smiles and sunshine, he was bantering with the crowd and cracking jokes with Chris Jericho on the Highlight Reel. Basically, he looked like he was having fun, and it showed in the way he carried himself.

Since then though, I feel like there’s been a slight change in Orton’s demeanour. All that effervescence seems to have drained away, his promos have become a little more vapid and monotonous, and he just doesn’t appear to enjoying himself quite so much (perhaps that has something to do with the company sentencing him to a legit mauling from a near-300 pound UFC fighter at SummerSlam, but I digress).

Regardless of the reasoning behind it (if indeed there is any reasoning at all), I feel like Orton could do with loosening up a little and showing that kind of vibrancy that marked his initial return to the company during July and early August.
