Cena-Orton remains entertaining… for now
The WWE is tossing everything but the office desks into building up the feud between champ John Cena and challenger Randy Orton. And it’s working well.
By involving Cena’s father in the feud, Orton comes across as dangerous and evil, rather than just as a cocky jerk, which often has been his usual persona. Orton is taking his heelishness up a notch by going along with a storyline portraying him as an utter bastard of Dennis Radar proportions.
As a result of a clearer good/evil feud, Cena-Orton has become the most intriguing storyline in WWE this year. Here’s hoping the company can keep it creative and entertaining for a few more PPVs to come. If done right, Cena-Orton could become WrestleMania-worthy, although I believe the title needs to change hands at least once before WrestleMania in order to legitimize Orton as actually title-worthy, to back up his pure heelish villainy.
