2. ...But Keep Orton Relevant Too
Hopefully the decision to include Randy in Payback's title match is a result of the WWE saving a huge Shield triple threat for the future. His involvement may seem unwelcome to some, but he nicely evens up the (admittedly murky) face/heel dynamic and gives the Cena generation a recognisable figure to cheer for. The danger here is that Orton becomes lost in the shuffle as Rollins, Reigns and Ambrose snipe at one another in the build up. Luckily, the Viper seems the perfect sort of character for a role such as this, darting in and out of confrontations to hit an RKO here and there before slinking off into the darkness again. Hopefully the WWE recognise this and allow Randy to do what comes naturally to him, without going too far in the opposite direction and having him outshine his three less-established co-stars.
