7 Reasons WWE Shouldn't Turn Randy Orton Face

3. He Was Never That Good At It Compared To His Heel Work

Orton has had a few runs as a babyface in his career. He started out as a face in 2002 with WWE pushing the idea that he was a third generation wrestler that was a natural for the business. Following a shoulder injury early in his career, he turned heel. Remember those classic RNN updates? Those were awesome. Back then it was obvious he was comfortable as a heel. His next face turn was in 2004 when Evolution turned on him because he won the World Title and Triple H didn't like that. When it was obvious that he wasn't connecting very well as a face for about eight months, they turned him back heel prior to a WrestleMania 21 loss to The Undertaker. Once again he looked a lot more comfortable as a heel. The third run as a face was the longest one from early 2010 until SummerSlam 2013. During the last year of his face run there were all kinds of rumors that he was going heel. They probably waited too long because he was really stale for most of 2013 prior to the turn. He was stagnant for months. In terms of in-ring performances he's fine as a babyface, but in terms of the overall performance he's really not cut out to be a good guy. That's not Orton at his best.
