5 Botches, slip-ups, and outrageous moments from WWE SmackDown Live (February 7th, 2017)

The episode had great moments, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing

#2 Orton returns a hat

Even a bad guy can be nice every once in a while. Randy Orton gave John Cena a back body drop on top of the announce table and while the WWE Champion lay there lifeless, The Viper slowly returned JBL’s hat. JBL was cautiously thankful right after this, and understandably so.

Perhaps this odd moment of pleasant behaviour is a seed planted for a babyface turn?

That would be a fitting character change because if the currently, heel Bray Wyatt wins the WWE Title at Elimination Chamber then it will be a currently heel Randy Orton challenging him at WrestleMania. One of them will need to flip sides and using the premonitions of cowboy hats, The Viper will be the one to turn.
