#2 Best: Sadistic Randy Orton

Remember how irrelevant Randy Orton seemed to be when he was the babyface champion on SmackDown Live, feuding with Jinder Mahal? Somehow it's absolutely impossible to imagine Orton in that role anymore, following his recent change of character. Orton is a sick and twisted individual, especially when he wrestles against Jeff Hardy.

The two men had an okay match this week, I thought. What I particularly enjoyed about the match however, is Orton going to the ear again. It just seems like these two men have created an iconic rivalry for the ages, much like The Miz and Daniel Bryan managed to do.

This week's main event did not particularly excite me as it just seemed completely meaningless. What makes me happy is knowing how much character work SmackDown Live's creative is putting into reinventing Randy Orton.
