5 Likely reasons why Randy Orton became a heel once again, attacking Edge on WWE RAW 

#2 Orton's a natural heel

That Con-Chair-To from Orton to Edge reminded me of the hammer shot at the end of SummerSlam 2002 from Triple H to Shawn Michaels.We may be about to see one of the best feuds of all time heading into WrestleMania 36. #RAW #WWE https://t.co/qI4tnZ4VL8

Even when Lacey Evans was a heel, a lot of us were listening to her list of accolades and thinking to ourselves- hey, she's a real-life superhero and deserves to be a babyface, does she not? There are certain individuals who are just naturals at playing certain characters and become known for these roles. A classic case is Sting, who's been a heel for certain parts of his career but is best known to be a babyface.

Randy Orton has been a great babyface at times, but there's something about him that just indicates that he is a natural heel. And so even when the shocking twist happened at the end of the show, we weren't as surprised as we were, say, when Bayley tapped into her dark side and turned heel. Or when Buddy Murphy decided to join Seth Rollins' faction and dedicate his life to the dark side.

Randy Orton, like Ric Flair and Triple H, is just someone who excels at being a heel. This has been the case through his career.
