2. The Viper Is Back
It was obvious that WWE has been lacking in star power for the past several months. Since the second half of 2014, Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Bad News Barrett and Dean Ambrose have all missed time for one reason or another, with many of them overlapping. Each return has helped augment WWEs already-thin roster, but few were more welcome than Randy Orton. While Orton can get really stale and boring at times, he is undeniably one of the most reliable performers on the roster, capable of consistently turning in good-to-great matches with a variety of opponents. When hes on, he can fire up a crowd in a way that few can. He can work both as a face and a heel, which also increases his worth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecHJf02lGN4&index=3 Orton also returns just in time to exact revenge against Seth Rollins and the Authority for putting him on the shelf for several months. While it looks like hes returned to the fold, that is either a great con that he is playing, or Randy will break off very soon due to circumstances (or betrayal) and likely set up a WrestleMania match against Rollins. That match could very well be a show-stealer.
