7 Reasons WWE Needs A Heel World Champion

7. Randy Orton Brings Credibility To The WWE Title

The thought of Randy Orton winning the ladder match probably upsets a lot of people, but he does bring something to the table that no other current heel has: credibility. As a former 12 time WWE World Champion he can win or lose titles all the time, yet he'll still be over with the fans. They may hate him or be sick of him, but as a heel he wants people to hate him no matter what the reason is. If people boo him because they are sick of him then he doesn't mind because it's the reaction he's supposed to get. Since Orton was the WWE Champion from SummerSlam last year for about a month and then from October's Hell in a Cell through WrestleMania 30, it may seem unlikely that he's going to get another run now. It was so recent that it may not be necessary. With WWE's business in an erratic state right now perhaps Vince McMahon may fill the need to go with a reliable performer like Orton as a way to right the ship, so to speak. Plus, they could have him feud with Bryan and put him over if they want to go in that direction too. An Orton win would likely upset some fans, but it's definitely possible.
