Why Orton?

[Smithers83]

For the Nexus angle they could of walked away 3 titles (Barrett winning Heavyweight belt, Nexus having a tag team in the tag turmoil match and Daniel Bryan re-joining with US title) building an amazing Survivour Series but i think your right apart from Cena v Nexus now they are out of it. They really did drop the ball

 

[Poop Master Flex]

Orton winning the WWE champion made logical sense because he is easily the most over guy on the roster right now. Every time he steps into the ring he gets an AMAZING reaction and he's one of the few guys that is liked by everyone, both hardcore and casual fans alike.

I'll admit that he wouldn't of been my first pick as I feel Sheamus or Barrett could have used the title more than Orton since Orton being champion isn't going to get him more over with the crowd (I don't think thats possible at this point in time) but no need to nitpick the shit out of the outcome.

It was a pretty solid PPV and Orton winning was a nice capper to the event. I don't think he'll be champ for long, but its never a bad decision giving the title to your most popular wrestler.

Once again lazy f**king crap from the E.............there's is no reason for orton to win tonite dats wat the whole mania buildup could've been about..........they dropped the ball big time orton and cena are way over @ this point ......there were 3 epic ways they could've gone wit tonite ..1. Have sheamus go over super with a dominate performance 2. Have barrett and the nexus rule the night which btw could have led to endless possibilities or 3. Let miz cash it in with a electrifying kill switch on orton dat would've stole the show .........but I guess asking 4 any of those 3 endings is a bit much 4 the creative (VKM n HHH) team

Yes, but as many complained about Sheamus' first win of the WWE title, wouldn't that be "Too early?" Barret has yet to be established in the single's division other than a squash over Henry and a win over Jericho. His match against Orton two weeks ago reeked of failure and would've been a dud had Darren Young not made it more interesting.

Barret is simply not that great of a pick, and to be honest, I've never really felt he should be the focal point of Nexus... Skip Sheffield should've been but whatever.

As for Daniel Bryan rejoining Nexus... why?

WWE's spent so much time rebuilding him up as this huge face and all of a sudden he's supposed to go heel? Right now, the only two faces carrying raw are Orton and Cena... Daniel Bryan needs to stay face and give a breath of air to raw....

Besides, you couldn't see a possible Punk vs. Bryan rivalry in WWE (possibly over the Unified IC title) if they're both heel.

 

[The Poodle]

Why Orton? Because most of the top wrestlers in the company, especially on Raw, at this point are HEELS. Orton had to win to build the feuds. Orton and Sheamus at HIAC, and no MIZ will not cash in then. I think Trips will return however and Orton will prevail. Another reason is that with only 2 weeks till HIAC, creative had to build that card based on THIS ppv. So, heres what we have. Kane/Taker will main event HIAC, which means they had to have a lesser match for raw. Orton Sheamus is just that. Plus, Cena has to stay out of the picture and feud with Nexus to build them. Plus, Barrett cant be champ until he beats a top superstar, Cena, Orton, Edge, Jericho, anybody else. Hell, Morrison or Ted, or Bryan. He needs a few quality wins before anyone can take him seriously. Orton is the only choice to build the next card and go forward.

Sheamus was one many not a faction, i think a good faction is what the wwe needs. Barrett has always had Nexus behind him so him having the title is not so crazy. Daniel Bryan rejoining opens ups many ways to go with WWE v's Nexus which almost makes Heels and Babyfaces not matter as much. Then you can turn who you want and go with who is working to carry the company with cena and Orton. Surely Bryan has been seen in WWE less then Barrett so how can you count him up there with Cena and Orton if Barrett can hold it yet?

 

[hatehabsforever]

Why Orton? Better question, why not Orton? There's no one in the WWE at the moment, including John Cena, who is more over with the crowd than is Randy Orton. The pops he receives from the crowd is typically deafening, as it was again tonight. He's great both in the ring as well as on the mic. He plays the "apex predator" schtick perfectly. He's going to be a huge draw on a go-forward basis with the WWE.

We all knew Jericho wouldn't win due to his impending hiatus from the company; he was lucky to even be in this match. Edge had to have been seen as a longshot to be successful as well. If Cena had won, the IWC in unison would have had a stroke, after all, he only knows 5 moves, yadda yadda yadda. Sure, maybe Sheamus could have won, but he'll still be fine chasing the title rather than possessing it. I fully expect Sheamus to invoke his re-match clause at HIAC in 2 weeks, losing in the process but incapacitating Orton, for the Miz's benefit, in the process. Barrett isn't ready yet. How can you put the title on a guy who just won NXT 1 a few months ago? I don't think the Nexus looked weak tonight because Barrett lost, in fact I thought they still looked pretty strong in causing Cena's elimination.

Orton was the most logical choice. He was the one most people on here predicted to win. And he deserved the win completely.

Why does everyone want wade barrett to win? What has he done besides gang bang people every week, dumbo hasnt done anything, he has the ears and nose of dumbo...anyways why him, i think sheamus shouldve kept it, orton didnt need the title again, sheamus shouldve kept it and kept his momentum going into the hell in the cell

Sheamus couldn't keep the momentum going into HIAC because there would be no momentum to keep if he had retained tonight. This way, with Orton as Champion, Sheamus as a shot of legitimizing his previous reigns as Champion. Orton will most likely walk out Champion at HIAC but he will do so by putting over Sheamus in a BIG way.

 

[KKKKwe]

Why Orton? Why Not Orton? Orton is the F"N best hes been the best and he's better then any man in the raw roster for in ring skills. I know u dont like Orton by the way u are sayin why orton but im gonna say orton will lose the title tommorow on raw becuase miz will cash in

 

[CAPT SPAULD1NG8]

im extremely dissapointed with the outcome of the match. i still think sheamus should have won to build up his character and make him a credible champion. what really upset me was when he tagged with cena, orton, edge, and jericho vs the nexus a few weeks ago and he was the first to be eliminated. that really was rediculous but that niether here or there. as for the miz. i agree that he should have not cashed in because i think he should help put over daniel bryan and then build him up after. what i really would like to see is really build him up going into mania ans have him cash in against undertaker since i do see takers and kane's fued lasting till then and then have miz break "the streak." but hey thats just me.

 

[jjdad23]

Once again horrible horrible horrible ..............dats da problem wit da E.......they rush everything ...........sheamus could've skyrocketed with a dominate performance and y not ? He's more then capable of carrying the belt thru @ least the survior series if not longer ...when are they going to understand that they need to build strong heels not tweeners ..horrible ..and btw Punk must end the deadmans streak ...

Really? Just don't see the Miz cashing in until WM. Right now a good feud is going on with him and Bryan that "should" play out well. Orton may be Champ for some time, or maybe trade a couple of times with Sheamus.

Surely Bryan has been seen in WWE less then Barrett so how can you count him up there with Cena and Orton if Barrett can hold it yet?

Because if you haven't noticed, Daniel Bryan's been in a LOT of high profile matches since coming to the WWE and has proven that he's ready for a spot at the top of the mid-cards and upper mid-cards.

The guy's gone toe to toe with Batista, Jericho, Khali, The Miz, and more... his return at SummerSlam was one of the loudest returns this year next to Edge's at Rumble.

And if I have to go there, he's simply one of the greatest technical wrestlers in the world.

Barret, to me, is like water... he's good but not something I'd pay for. Sure, he's got a strong faction behind him, but like you pointed with the heel/face bit, if WWE were to give someone like Regal a stable then the heat would generate anyway. It's not Barret that's got the attention of people, it's Nexus as a whole and the entire Nexus can't be a world champion... unless they're the wwe tag champions in which case I'd be all for them doing the freebird defense ruling.

 

[Porter1989]

get it when cena was over with the crowd he became champ. orton is so hes champ. but orton in my opinion is better suited to be champ over cena. orton at times can be unpredicatable. cena? yuou know whats coming. i hope ortons character doesnt get stale like cenas. but im a big orton fan so it wouldnt matter to me as long as hes champ im fine. though i kinda wanted to see a jumpstart in a orton miz fued tonight. but after hell in a cell well see it.

 

[gioacchini6]

I don't see why tonight was so shocking to anyone. Hell in a Cell is only two weeks away. The point of the matches is to conclude some feuds that have been going on for a while now. There is no time to build any new feuds, nor should they have tried to. That said, it makes plenty of sense to have Cena put Barrett/Nexus over, as he has now been screwed yet again by them, setting up the inevitable 1 on 1 bout with Barrett at HIAC. If Orton did not win, he would have really had no point on getting a rematch with Sheamus at HIAC, so by putting the belt on him now, it gives Sheamus the chance to invoke his rematch clause at HIAC to end another feud that has been going on since before SS. It all makes sense if you think about it folks. In todays WWE, they booked it and executed the outcome as well as we could have hoped for.

 

[Smithers83]

I really do see your point and i am not saying Barrett is the best in the world or trying to put down Bryan i was just giving an option i would of liked to of seen. I just think that maybe WWE took the easy way out. I do think Bryan is a great technical maybe not one of the best in the world but very good. I just think that they could of really run with this in a different way and i was somewhat disappointed.

 

[Tha Wolfpac]

Orton winning was a bit of an anti-climax if you ask me. They built up so badly and make him look unstoppable only to just give him the title so abruptly. Randy Orton is about to enter cool-down mode all that hype and excitement will die down noticeably as Randy Orton is much more interesting when he is stalking his prey. This was as close Barrett will ever get to the title in a long time, and seriously i thought this was a golden opportunity for the Nexus leader. Disappoiting....

 

[Fisheatppl]

I like that Orton won. I did not want Cena to win, I'd like Barret to win one day, but totally not yet. At LEAST a year. I'd ask more, but even Sheamus and Lesnar (and probably a few more but those stood out to me as being ridiculously fast) took a year until they got the big one. Giving it to someone who's done nothing, and who might never do anything else (although I think Barret will be great, but who really does know for sure), giving it to them this fast is a huge mistake. Even if you could use the nexus angle. You'd still be giving it to a bunch of rookies.

However, I would have liked, if they had given it to Barrett, for Miz to have cashed in and won. Then, Barrett would enter tomorrow's (todays) Raw, without every actually having held the title, as a "former WWE champion". Possibly create a face Miz, (although this could easily be rectified by him being a dick the next night), and Nexus can use the fact that they have the "talent" to be champions. Also it might have POSSIBLY helped Barrett seem like a Main Eventer. He'd enter the ring with the "former WWE champion...." title, people would start to think he belongs. But again, he'd never have held the belt.

 

[The WWE Effect]

orton won cuz him and the miz have been fueding, and now miz has dropped the us title and can cash in mitb at any point on orton, win and then wwe will have a great orton/miz storyline

Miz should have cash in the MITB right after Orton won the title since he lost the US title earlier in the night so he would still walk out of Night Of Champions with a title.

 

[Jack-Hammer]

I would have preferred to have Sheamus retain the title, but I don't really mind all that much Orton won the title as I don't think he's going to have a very long reign. Hell in a Cell happens in only a couple of weeks so there's a definite possibility that Sheamus will regain the title. At any rate, having the Sheamus/Orton feud continue will be good for Sheamus in the long run. In spite of the hate that Orton gets, he might be an absolute prick in real life but the guy's a great pro wrestler and he's monsterously over right now.

Having Orton win is the second favorite scenario I had for the match, I'm just plain tickled to death that John Cena didn't win it and that SuperCena didn't make an appearance tonight. As for The Miz, I'm glad he didn't cash it in tonight. Now that The Miz is no longer United States Champion, he can really take a much bigger step into the main event scene. The longer he holds onto the briefcase and the more hype the briefcase gets, the better. Don't be at all surprised if The Miz waits all the way to WrestleMania to cash his in.

As for Wade Barrett, it's not the right time for Barrett to be a World Champion. The WWE has gone a different route with Sheamus when it comes to the WWE Championship and it worked well for Sheamus. They did it also with Jack Swagger and the World Heavyweight Championship to overall mixed results I think, so I do think they need to lay off the "newcomers" unexpectedly winning the big one for a while. I'd love to see Barrett in a feud with the likes of John Cena. It'd keep Cena out of the title run and, just as with Sheamus' feud with Orton, a feud with Cena is only going to help Barrett out in the long run.

 

[Shay]

Let me see, how do i explain this without the orton fans here bad repping me??. This was a "Meh" result for me i dont mind seeing him as champ he doesn't need the title and Sheamus vs Orton is 99% guaranteed for HIAC so i'll give that a miss. I think wwe wanted to cash in on orton's popularity at it's peak by giving him the belt. Lastly NO i dont think he should've won tonight. He didn't need to win Sheamus did what better way to solidify him as a powerhouse (even more) by having him beat 5 (well four superstars).

 

[EthanMcPowersII]

As much of a John Cena fan I am, I am glad Randy got the title, and the way he got the title.

I am actually hoping for a John Cena/Randy Orton team up. Though I wouldn't be suprised if this somehow turned into a rivalry between the two.

 

[dta151]

Edge should have won,pinned Barret then nexus comes out beats down edge,Miz then cashes in MITB and beats the ultimate opportunist at his own game and then feud Miz and Edge.Orton is just total dogshit jones,anyone but him should have won.
