Kinda interesting actually. Not sure if the Santino thing would work seeing as he's pretty much been in that gimmick so long I don't think he can ever realistically break it, but I'd be game for trying it with him. Don't think WWE would be though seeing as he's still one of the most over faces in the company and sells pretty decently.
I'd heard that Orton was dating that JoJo girl from Total Divas. They could have added her in too to help add buzz for the Total Divas show I guess.
Brodus would be good for muscle since he's dropped off the face of the planet. Just have the story be that Orton decided to give him a chance when nobody else would.
Could have even gone the route of adding Rollins and Ambrose if the whole "Shield splitting up" thing had happened. Or reunite Ryder and Hawkins, I mean they were already the Edge Heads at one point, now they could be the... Orton... Um... Orton Orbital Bones? Ah fuck it, just call them Ryder and Hawkins.
Another interesting option would have been to have Cody and Goldust turn heel and join Orton. They hate the authority so it'd make sense to back the guy the authority doesn't want anymore, and Cody has history with Orton. I also think Cody is better as a heel anyway, and Goldust is good no matter what he's doing.
