Randy needs momentum before Lesnar showdown

WWE made a huge step this week when they announced Randy Orton as the opponent of Brock Lesnar. The fact that Orton is announced without no buildup whatsoever makes it’s a confusing choice but at the same time, it is a match that we all wanted to see. And after all, WWE does some weird things when it involves Lesnar.

The Lesnar vs. Orton showdown will take place after the brand split, which means that WWE will have a SmackDown championship by then if they are planning to introduce it.

Making Orton the champion is a great way to make him look strong ahead of the Lesnar match because, if Orton simply walks into the match, it gives an impression that he has no momentum on his side against the Beast.
