10 Reasons Randy Orton's Slow Face Turn Is Best For Business
5. Release The Fury Of The Viper
Few would disagree that Randy Orton is at his best when he channels the true ferocity and viciousness of his Viper persona. When his eyes turn wild and he pulls the 'Punt' from his arsenal to dispatch opponents, Randy Orton is one of the most formidable characters on the modern WWE roster. This level of intensity provides an intriguing contrast to the typical persona of a WWE babyface which could finally give Orton a memorable run as a fan favourite. We saw glimpses of this character on the most recent episode of Raw, with Orton setting up Rollins for a Punt before Triple H and the rest of The Authority intervened. If Orton has the slimy Rollins and his Authority stablemates in his sights, he's going to be instantly over as a good guy when he returns to the company. An appearance from the Viper to aid a Team Cena victory at Survivor Series would be an excellent moment, with Orton removing his former friends from power. If the Viper can unleash his inner fury on the Authority, he could easily fill the void of talented babyfaces in the WWE main event scene.
