Randy Orton has been having a babyface run for quite a long time, and there is no denying of the fact that he earned most of his success as a heel. This week on SmackDown, he was seen teaming up with the Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to take on the team of the Vision. He is one of the most beloved babyfaces of WWE right now.
But one thing can never be denied that he earned most of his success from WWE as a villain, and his rivalry with John Cena is still considered one of the best rivalries in WWE history. Randy Orton is often considered one of the best villains in professional wrestling history, and no doubt he is a natural heel.
Mark Henry discusses why Randy Orton should turn heel
A lot of fans believe that he should keep on working as a heel and not as a babyface for such a long time. Even professional wrestling legend Mark Henry said the same thing recently when he spoke to TMZ Sports’ “Inside The Ring” Podcast. Here is what the farmer WWE World Heavyweight Champion has to say;
Randy Orton is presently working as a babyface
“Some people think he’s being underused right now, and I’m one of those people. But I wouldn’t want Randy to be champion as good guy Randy. I want Randy in the role that’s tailor-made for him—coming in, punting people again, RKO’ing people’s grandmothers and kids, stomping everyone. Let Randy be Randy.”
“He’s gotta shave his head too. You can’t trust the snake. You’ve heard that story about the frog and the scorpion? The toad’s sitting by the pond, minding his business, and the scorpion comes up and says, ‘Hey man, give me a ride to the other side.’
Orton is rumored to challenge Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42
"The toad says, ‘No way, you’re a scorpion. You’ll sting me and kill me.’ The scorpion says, ‘Why would I do that? I need your help to get across.’ So the toad agrees, and halfway across, the scorpion stabs him full of poison. The toad says, ‘Why would you do that? Now we’re both gonna die.’ And the scorpion says, ‘You knew I was a scorpion when I got on your back.”
Latest rumours suggest that Randy Orton will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at the upcoming WrestleMania 42 event, and to promote this match properly, we can definitely expect Orton to turn heel. So a heel turn for The Viper is inevitable, we only question stands, when WWE will actually turn him heel.
