There was never any doubt. We're getting Orton vs Batista whether we like it or not.

Orton's title run/face of the WWE stint has been booked like absolute arse, I mean I don't really care enough about the guy to raise that much issue with this turn of events but even so, it's hard not to notice how badly they've bungled his heel run.
I really want the crowd to start leaving before the match begins.

What exactly have they bungled? They've given him every chance and tried pretty much everything to make him not suck. He sucks.

If they weren't going to do that tonight, they won't do it for Mania.
Besides, they'll leave Brock vs. The Undertaker to go on last.

He has zero heel heat
As much as I want that to happen, it wont.

I like how the DDT and a top rope fameasser are just regular moves but a fireman's carry is the most devastating thing in the world.

Better than last week.. still
Raw ends with Cena's music etc..
Seeing this pic in the Gamefaqs forums when I was in 6th grade; really puts things in perspective of how evolved this company is.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Some good matches, zero storyline development. Generally watchable RAW for tonight, but nothing special.

maybe the fact that they turned him into a whiny bitchmade suck up who loses tv matches.
Orton could've had his badass face edge but as a heel but instead he's just pathetic.

I don't buy into that "Vince telling him to hold back" stuff. They try to tone down everyone, but when guys like Punk, Jericho (when he's interested), and HBK go out, their personalities still come through, and it feels natural. When Bryan goes out there, he connects with the people and his work is exciting. When Brock's out there, it feels like someone's gonna die. When The Shield was undefeated, their matches had an aura of total chaos. Orton simply doesn't have that special "stuff" IMO. Outside of the ring he can be as charismatic as whoever, but once those lights turn on, he's the prototypical WWE guy, no more no less. He hits the right spots, does what he's supposed to do, doesn't screw up a match against superior workers, and doesn't Khali his mic time.
Having Triple H as the ref and Randy Orton cashing in right after doesn't create a pass the torch moment. The gave him the title and went well Cena will come back in three months so we will wait on that.
Why should they? Crowd was hyped for it, and they seemed to enjoy it. Orton is the WWE Champion, and Cena is the obvious face of the company. Why would you buy a ticket to a WWE show, and then be mad at seeing them? What were you expecting?
The fuck would you be thinking if you did that?
Some of you take this children's TV show too seriously.

Wait. Cena won? Of course he did. It's WrestleMania season. That sucks. I guess he feels like he should be the one that drops it to Bryan.

I wholeheartedly endorse the above post by SoulPlaya.
Anyone that bought tickets to that taping tonight knew full well what they were getting.
Although I understand Kane didn't take his top off tonight. Sorry about that.

the only reason I can't help but think it is because for one Orton has a great personality that can be seen outside of wrestling and in interviews. And SOMETIMES it does peek through on air so you know it's still there sometimes.
I agree that he is a reliable worker so that might be making him play it safe, but I still think he does it mostly because that's what is expected of him. That's how he became over. If Bryan became over being a boring person no doubt he'd stick to being boring. Orton just got unlucky that he got over doing that slow thinking and talking viper gimmick.

I hope reigns flops and Cena stays at the top for years to come. I want Cena to be the #1 guy for the next 10 years and reigns to flop in their face.
UberTag

Cena will be the #1 guy for the next decade at least regardless of whether Reigns gets over or not.
It's almost as if the WWE is teasing us with Kane. He'll start taking off his shirt, then stop. Like they're saving it for major events only.

Good, i want him to main event every mania for the next 10 years and end every raw with his music.
Isn't it so cool to be the different one?
It doesn't matter how over anyone gets, Bryan and other prove that.
