What's next for Orton? Simple: a rematch. There's nobody else left on top but Hunter and Orton, now that Benoit's been shoved into the midcard. And if there's even a minimal chance that Orton is going to catch on the way a lot of people say he will, there's no way they're going to shut him down so soon. Just because he's not champion doesn't mean he won't be on the top of the card; it just means he's got more motivation to get his title back. Fans will more likely cheer for the underdog, especially if he's going in against Hunter. My bet is they're going to make his second title win mean more than his first, which will succeed not only in making Orton look better, but also making Hunter look better and indirectly de-push Benoit even further.
So yeah, Orton/Hunter keeps going, ending as Survivor Series at the earliest. And I will pay everyone on this site $5 if Shawn Michaels doesn't poke his nose into the feud within the next 2 months.
