6. Thanks For The Save
The return of Randy Orton has been expected for weeks now, so when it came Sunday night, it wasnt much of a surprise fans were chanting for the Viper before his music hit. Ortons return will likely set up a WrestleMania match against Seth Rollins, continuing their fledgling feud what was put on hold in November so Randy could film a direct-to-DVD film. While Orton might be portrayed as a loner, would it have killed him to run in for the save before Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback all got taken out by the Authority? Even if Randy doesnt really care about the three of them, running out and breaking up the assault before all three were incapacitated would have only provided some additional manpower against the five members of the Authority. Instead, the trio who along with John Cena defeated the Authority at Survivor Series got wiped out, only for Orton to single-handedly stave off all five men. Gotta build up that new star Randy Orton, make him look strong.
