I think that was the plan for Orton a while back, build him up as the 'adult' face of the company to appeal to the fans who won't cheer Cena but I think building up a strong 'cool' heel would do the same job. The only issue is the the companys desire to smooth the edges of any anti hero character that starts getting over.

Orton would have been an excellent fit as well, but one thing I like about CM Punk is his "off the charts" promo ability. As a heel, the WWE can start using him in the same way as they did last summer.

Re: Your last sentence:

You are correct......but at some point, the WWE has to realize that "smoothing the edges of any anti hero character" only hurts them. However - I'm not suggesting that Punk be an anti hero. I'm suggesting that Punk flat out acts like a heel......and shoots on everyone and anyone......regardless of how the fans react.

I think thats Ortons big failing, he can cut a decent promo but it's hit and miss at times.

I actually thought that was where they were going after Raw, building him up as the main heel and giving the adults someone to cheer, putting him against Cena means it's almost certain he'll get cheered by a large chunk of the audience regardless.
