The WWE draft is just around the corner, and it could be that time for Randy Orton to switch brands.
The WWE is scrambling to fill the void that Edge left when he abruptly retired. Now, the WWE needs a replacement, and there might not be a better replacement for Edge than Randy Orton.
He’s very much cut from the same cloth. Both he and Edge work well as a face, but much better as a heel. The question is if the WWE feels comfortable taking their second-biggest face off their flagship show.
But if the WWE wants to have a viable product on more than just RAW, moving Orton to Smackdown makes sense. Plus, it’s a way to mix up the talent and create interesting storylines. The problem with doing a show every week without break is that it’s easy for characters to get stale, so the best thing that can be done is moving them around.
This might be the time for Orton to shine on another stage. Proving he can carry Smackdown might be just what he and WWE need.
I’m going to bring you all your WWE news. Feel free to leave comments as well.
Let’s get this show on the road.
