A face Orton is automatically #2 guy and leaps over everybody else

Agreed.


I'm even wondering if he can legitimately be accepted as the #1 guy in the company if the WWE push him right. Between Wrestlemania and Summerslam 2015 for instance, just have Orton steam roll through everyone. Rollins, Wyatt, and even a few faces such as Cena, Reigns, and Bryan. At Summerslam, Orton then defeats Lesnar.


Just really go 'balls out' with Orton. I'm wondering if the fans would accept it? Orton is an excellent wrestler and has the respect of the fans (unlike Reigns). Vince McMahon and company are also highly fond of Orton, and don't have any reservations about him being a top guy (unlike Daniel Bryan).

They can push him all they want, but as long as Cena is there, he won't be #1.

Random thought: I remember the past few Manias that Orton was a face at I laughed because his matches were pretty much "Who did John Cena just feud with? Ok, have them feud with Orton now."

This certainly was the case a few years ago, but I think the WWE have now realized that Cena doesn't necessarily need to be in the "#1 main-event slot" in order for him to still be the company's biggest draw.


Cases in point: CM Punk from 2011-2012, Daniel Bryan from last year, and Roman Reigns of this year.


And again - a few years ago, before 2012, the WWE was purely PG. As the WWE has shifted away from the PG era now, perhaps a new guy can legitimately take over Cena's spot as the #1 guy.


CM Punk wasn't the guy. Management doesn't want Bryan, while the fans seemingly don't want Reigns. Could this be Orton's time to 'burn in the light'? (see what I did there? ).

Cena still #1 guy in all those cases.

This.

At this point, his opportunity to be THE guy at any point is over. For whatever reason, that ship has sailed. But he's still the one guy who can just be perpetually over as a face without a catchphrase or a certain storyline or a gimmick of any kind. He just is. You can say he fucked up his chance to be the other Cena, but he's still naturally WAY more of a star than any of the other full time guys.
