Here is what I would do.

Make Orton Evolution's bitch. Have Edge cheat again at SummerSlam to go over Orton for the IC title. Fans are already starting to sympathize with Orton over Edge's gay cheating. After taking three losses to Edge, without really hurting Orton's credibility since Edge is cheating, which also gives Edge heel heat for his turn, where he goes back to the blonde surfer boy type who cheats. Put him against Jericho, and a fresh heel with an IC title against a bunch of misused midcard faces is a hot ticket. This would elevate Edge, give Jericho something to do that's actually worth his skills, and for Orton...

Have Evolution lose confidence in Orton. With Triple H giving off the idea that Orton isn't that great anymore, after taking three straight losses to Edge. Say he embarassed Evolution. Everyone knows this is complete shit, because Orton had such a long reign with the belt and went over Foley twice. Evolution stops taking Randy Orton seriously. They start turning their attention to Batista to get the job done for the future.

Why? Because Batista didn't fail to get the job done. After knocking Jericho out, and annihilating Chris Benoit, Batista is now something that could be taken seriously with the proper momentum, while involving him in a major storyline. Batista continues to be successful, punishing and defeating all mid-card jobbers who oppose Evolution, while Randy Orton is constantly insulted by Evolution's lack of faith in him.

Line up a bunch of jabronis for Randy Orton for a few weeks. Pull the Brooklyn Brawler out of the wood shed, a Bushwhacker, and guys like that. Orton would obviously go over in a few squash matches, while the fans are entertained by the "jobbing legends" of the WWE.

This doesn't hurt anyone in Evolution, and sympathy continues to grow for Orton. RAW is working to increase its ratings for their new TV contract, they're going to be looking to put some serious fireworks on RAW, as we will see this Monday when Benoit defends against Edge in the Iron Man Match. That is a HIGH PROFILE match. Continue the momentum after Triple H regains the World Heavyweight Championship by having a 15-Man Over-The-Top-Rope elimination match, or a tournament.

Push Benoit to the moon in the match, having him end up as the final man with Orton, whether it be the battle royal or a tournament. If it's one on one, send him packing with Batista cheating (thus hinting that Batista may have Benoit's number, and setting Benoit up to regain some credibility at a future PPV) and if it's a battle royal have Orton skin the cat or something. But make him look talented.

Then as Orton gets his match, he has his chance to "make it up" to Evolution, after "embarassing" them, he can lay down for Triple H, and that's where the idea comes into play (I realize other people mentioned the Orton laying down for Trips scenerio) where he ends up refusing.

It is too soon to give him the title IMO. Have Evolution beat the shit out of him in the match after he refuses to lie down. Randy Orton is now one pissed off, mad over face.
