I disagree, I think Orton is the most over babyface on the RAW roster right now (and yes I realize he's supposed to be a heel, no need to point that out). And I would argue Orton could main event right now and to a degree he already has, by Mania he'll be good to go forsure.
If they could get Rock to wrestle, of course they should do it. It would make people forget about the fact that Orton lost to Edge, and set him up for that push towards the title that should start at the end of the summer and culminate at Mania.
However, I haven't heard anything about Rock wrestling at SS, and you'd think something that big would be public by now. I know Rock is involved in Spy Hunter stuff, and I've heard there have been some problems with the filming, so I dont know if that frees up his schedule or makes him more busy. I figured with some of the past buyrate numbers they would need soemone like Rock to solidify a decent number for Summerslam, but GAB did way better than expected so there may not be that pannick anymore. My feeling is that Rock isn't part of any Summerslam plans and wont be at the show. Leaving Orton-Edge in a rematch.
They should do the Rock-Orton match at one of the big PPVs. Survivor Series would make sense, or maybe even the second RAW PPV in October. They only have two weeks to promote that show, and its on a Tuesday, so you'd think they'll need something huge to sell that show on a new day. Maybe Rock-Orton is the way to go.
But like anything with Rocky, its all about his filming schedule, which I dont have on me, so I cant really comment specifically.
