I think it's been implied that the IED is bullshit and was just a way for him to protect himself from being fired before he won the Rumble. The way he half-heartedly read that statement prepared by the "lawyers" led me to interpret that way, but maybe I'm wrong.
But yeah, the way they've been booking him lately is ridiculous. He's gone from putting Shane in the "hospital" after two straight nights of ass kickings to being afraid to climb a cage or coordinate an attack on a guy holding a sledgehammer when he has the numbers in his favor. The way this is going, I almost would've preferred to see Cena/Orton (if Cena had retained the World title) or at least Edge/Orton with Orton acting as a tweener for the feud.
I still believe that these two will put together a great 20-minute main event for WrestleMania (like I've said before, Orton can be lazy but main eventing the biggest WrestleMania in history and working again with HHH should be enough to keep him from getting lazy). The build has just been getting stale. At least with Stephanie making an appearance last night, maybe we'll get Vickie out of the interim GM role and Steph back as GM. But even that seems to be ass backwards, since it's usually the heel that has the GM in their back pocket, not the face.
