DISCUSSION - What is next for Randy Orton?

As for Edge, he's about a half a step away for being ready for the World Title scene. I think his win over HBK was great and gave him what he needed, that big win. He's cutting good promos as a heel and comes off like he will die for the Title. I say Batista/Edge right after Mania for the Title.

Hmmmm.....

-Orton vs. Hogan would be cool from a marks' perspective. Hopefully - Hogan would do the JOB.

-Orton/Austin would be good as well, but the mark in me doesn't want to see Austin JOB.

-Orton/Lesnar would be interesting. Who would the fans hate more? As far as Lesnar is concerned, I highly doubt that the WWE will bring him in before Wrestlemania. I think this will be his punishment (i.e. no Mania' payoff for Lesnar).


-Orton/Rock would still be my #1 choice however.



p.s. At this rate, I can't see Orton and Edge being on the same show after Mania'. Both men will be (or are) very promising heels, and all they'll do is 'hold each other back' (even more likely if Triple H stays heel after Mania').
