What will take Randy Orton to the next level?

Miz then cashes in on Sheamus and takes the title. - Sheamus has a guaranteed rematch which leaves Orton on the outside of the title picture dispite having the belt in the bag. - Unveil the Mystery GM as Micheal Cole. Cole is portraying himself as a mark for The Miz and thus he will do all he can to keep the belt on him. - Cue Cole screwing around with Orton, keeping him at arms length from the title. Even have Cole take control of Nexus (Gabriel, Slater, Otunga and Tarver could even excommunicate Barrett) so that Orton has the "odds against him". - Eventually you have Orton overcome whatever Cole has put in front of him to get the shot against The Miz. Where Orton wins the title after MONTHS of build.

That would mean another two or three months of Orton RKOing everyone and doing his Stone Cold head shake as he pretends to get hyped up/ go crazy... I'll pass. Hopefully with him as champ and thus the hunted rather than the hunter we can get some decent heels built back up.
