#1 It's a fresh rivalry
The Orton vs Styles scoreboard stands at 3-1 in favor of Orton right now. Although it would lead you to believe that this rivalry already has four matches to its name, and is overexposed, that's not the case. The last two times Orton pinned AJ, they barely interacted with each other. The other two matches that happened, took place over a year ago.
Both performers have come a long way now, with both undergoing considerable character development. Those two matches on SmackDown Live could be considered as a litmus test for a grander stage. This feud is incredibly fresh, something which this WWE product sorely needs.
