Who Is Behind WWE's Awesome Edge Vs. Randy Orton Storyline?
The mastermind behind Raw's greatest feud has been revealed.
Edge vs. Randy Orton is the most critically acclaimed storyline in WWE right now, despite 'The Rated R Superstar' not appearing on television since 'The Viper' put him down the night after Royal Rumble 2020.
Much of this is down to Orton's magnificent work. Character-wise, he's operating near a career-best level, cutting tremendous promo after tremendous promo and starring in several gutwrenching angles, including this week's with Beth Phoenix.
As divisive as the product is, fans and critics are united: this is a great, great programme, but who's behind it?
Paul Heyman, apparently.
This is according to a new report from WrestlingNews.co stating that the Raw Executive Director is writing the bulk of the content, though he's also taking lots of input from the performers themselves. The same report notes that Edge's return (which is expected to go down on next week's Raw) will be built around the idea that he is competing against doctor's orders.
The former Rated RKO partners are expected to clash at WrestleMania 36. As things stand, it's the hottest and most eagerly anticipated match on the lineup. Everyone involved in this story - from Orton to Heyman - deserves huge credit.
