Why is Randy Orton a face?

Then the night that his turn was completed, he did the arm thing and the crowd loved it. From that point on, he was a face again. They made it so definable, it was great.

They put the belt on Triple H because Orton proved he wasn't ready to carry the ball, so they put it back on the man who could carry the ball between the shoulder blades of his massive and entertaining back.
