He's a reliable top heel, able to work standout matches against just about anyone. His mic skills are underrated as well. While not an elite mic worker, he can effectively irk the crowd with his arrogance as he proved in early 2014 and for much of his career.
Orton has faded from prominence lately, becoming a nondescript figure in The Authority's entourage. A win here gets him a bigger share of the spotlight and allows him to return to more autonomous villainy.
An Orton victory will induce deja vu. At last year's event, Orton won the Ladder match at the main event.
In addition, it hasn't even been three months since he lost the title at WrestleMania 30. He won the belt back in October, beginning his eighth reign. "The Viper" spent much of the second half of 2013 either with that championship or as the No. 1 contender.
Beyond that, though, Orton and John Cena have hovered around the world title scene for years.
Going with Orton once more here is sure to inspires a lot of sighs. It would be the latest resume booster for a man with a bloated one.
One also has to wonder how thrilling his upcoming title match options would be. Seeing Daniel Bryan take him on once he returns has little spark. It's a pairing WWE has to let rest for a long while. Orton vs. Cena at Battleground or SummerSlam lacks freshness as well.
