1. Orton Needed The Win More Than Cena
The main reason for Orton winning over Cena at TLC? He simply needed it more. Cena is a made man, a made act, he will draw money regardless of his position within the WWE. Following a dire babyface run it was Randy who needed the rehabilitation of his heel act - he needed the WWE fully behind him. At TLC the company proved they really were behind the re-emergence of Orton. This hasn't just been some title carrier through the Autumn months, Orton is full on the man that WWE has chosen to build the business around. They have faith in the Apex Predator. Cena will be just fine. He isn't hurt by the loss and won't just disappear back into the shuffle like Orton might have done. By getting the win he needed to affirm his character, Randy and the WWE have helped to establish an ultra strong main eventer for the upcoming key Mania period. The little push that Orton needed over the edge has happened. He is now fully immersed in the perception of being the man in WWE. So what next for The Viper in 2014? Dominance perhaps. Whoever his Mania feud ends up being with, it will be one of the biggest stories of the next few months. From there Orton can go on to further solidify his position as the man again in the WWE. A top summer rivalry leading into another autumn title series would see Orton have one of his best career years in wrestling. He may just end up being considered the best in the world of 2014. The future is more promising than it has ever been for Randy Keith Orton.
