#5 Orton is a much better heel

Sometimes somebody is so good at being a villain that, when they act like the happy good guy who we’re all supposed to cheer, it just doesn’t work.
For example, Seth Rollins initially struggled to get fans on his side when he turned face in September 2016, and absolutely nobody bought into Alberto Del Rio as a good guy when he had a change of attitude in January 2013.
Randy is the same. He’s been such a brilliant, credible heel over the years that he just isn’t believable as a face.
Remember when he burnt down the Wyatt Family compound? Or when he flipped Samir Singh upside down on the announce table? Those were heel actions from a babyface Orton, but it’s a heel Orton that the majority of WWE fans want to see in the future.
