Who else wants a "RKO outta nowhere" leading to Orton winning the 2015 Royal Rumble? Orton's best use is as a main eventer, his constant positioning around the WWE Championship for the past decade making him as a non-threat or midcarder seem silly. Similar to Triple H in this role, Orton is somewhat stuck in that if he doesn't win the Rumble, whatever he does at Wrestlemania will seem a) boring, b) strange or c) absolutely unnecessary. If he wins, Orton wrestling Brock, winning and then having Seth Rollins cash in the "Money In The Bank" briefcase could make for the ultimate "Wrestlemania moment."
