Yes, a win for Orton at Mania would be good, but with the crap build up they have given for this match and the fact that they tried to push a babyface Orton down our throats for 6+ months should tell us that they need to give a better storyline for an Orton turn.

Picture this:

The match is going into the 20th minute. Both men are bloody and tired, barely able to stand, hurt and torn. Randy signals for the RKO, goes for it, gets rejected and shoved into the ropes and CHOKESLAMMED right in the middle of the ring. A livened Undertaker is livid! He drags the thumb across the throat. He lifts Randy Orton up for the Tombstone Piledriver, but at the last second, Orton slides out and BOOM! RKO! 1-2-3! The fans are screaming and clapping for one of the greatest moments in WrestleMania history. The Undertaker, after 12 years of victory, has finally gone down to this young, 3rd generation athlete.

Still broken and bruised, Orton and Taker slowly get to their feet, and the ref raises Orton's hand in victory. The deadman holds himself up in the corner, glaring at the young kid. They meet in the center of the ring, and Taker reaches out his hand. They shake. They embrace.

But then, Orton pulls back and looks into Taker's eyes. He mouths "Thank you" and low blows him and RKO's him again! The fans are livid! They throw trash in the ring and the Legend Killer stands atop the turnbuckle and does his cocky pose.


The next night on RAW, Randy cuts a promo at the start of the show. It's all about how, although the fans cheered him, he knew they didn't BELIEVE he could beat the Undertaker at WrestleMania. They didn't BELIEVE that he was for real. But he is. And now, after proving them wrong, he spits in the faces of the non-believers of the ultimate 3rd generation superstar - The Legend Killer, Randy Orton. He's done the impossible, and he is the BEST.

Cue up Batista's music. He walks down to the ring with the Title belt over his shoulder. "Excuse me? Did I just hear you say that you're THE BEST?"


It fits like a god damn glove.
