Every week with this topic.

Look Orton is a main eventer, well basically. Have you seen the ads for this coming PPV? One is about the triple threat, the other is about Orton-Foley. In fact I would say Orton-Foley has been pushed harder than the title match with Hunter being wrapped up with Benjamin.

DX was over to a degree, but they got much more popular when they turned face under Hunter, who once again was further down the card than Orton is now.

Orton will be feuding with Hunter for the World Title. I think the way this will play out is that Hunter will leave, in the meantime Orton takes more of a leadership role (Flair could talk about picking up the slack while HHH is gone). HHH will come back, win the World Title, and the group will be back to where it is now. But I dont see the split coming until after Hunter comes back, wins and then probably loses the title again. At that point I can see Orton dumping Flair and Hunter.

In terms of Benjamin, there's nothing wrong with putting him in Orton's current spot (#2), while Orton main events with the World Title. Benjamin will not be ready for the World Title in the next year, so he can take over the IC title spot. At some point he can turn back babyface and leave the group.
