WWE: Randy Orton to get a major character change

Orton was most recently tied in a feud with long-time rival Kofi Kingston. The feud was not just based around the WWE Championship but also the personal rivalry among the two wrestlers. However, Kingston's reign as WWE Champion ended after Brock Lesnar defeated him. It is reported that Orton will not be seen in the title race anytime soon.  A video of Orton laughing during the Bobby Lashley and Lana kissing segment had gone viral. Now another video has emerged of the former Evolution member helping a young fan at ringside.

Earlier Orton was in the midst of one of the best feuds in his career. For four straight PPV’s he was the main title contender for the WWE championship. Since losing to Mark Henry at the Hell in a Cell PPV, Orton has not failed to get a title shot. Over on SmackDown, these feuds were not getting the attention and exposure they truly deserved. Going by crowd response, not much of a change is necessary.

He still gets very good reactions from fans. He has always gotten loud cheers when entering the ring and when hitting his big moves during the match. Even so, he has still fallen down the company ladder. A character change is not necessary just yet, but if this path continues for Orton, he is going to have to step up his game and get eyes back on the Apex Predator.
