4. Orton And Jericho Showed Why They Are WWE Legends
Randy Orton beating Chris Jericho clean in the middle of the ring wasn't a surprise. We all expected that to happen. Jericho isn't in WWE in 2014 to win feuds or to win a whole lot of matches. He's there to put on great matches with people that are usually younger than him and try to make them bigger stars. While Orton is not a heel on the rise, he benefited from the win after losing to Roman Reigns cleanly at SummerSlam last month. What is cool about any match Jericho has is that he's a master of counter wrestling. It seems like that has become one of the signature things about his matches because he's always out there coming up with a creative counter to whoever he is in the ring with. Orton was up for the task because he was out there reversing a lot of classic Jericho moves too. Even though both have been in WWE for over 12 years (Jericho is at 15 years), they really haven't feuded that much. They had a match that was arguably the match of the night. Just because they didn't have much of a storyline is irrelevant. It's about putting on an entertaining match on a PPV and that's what they did. Jericho's future from here is a question mark. We know he's taking off for a while. Maybe he'll be back in early 2015 for a run up to WrestleMania. It's very possible. Personally, I'm looking forward to his next book in October because the first two were awesome.
