As evidenced, WWE has finally grown comfortable enough with Randy Orton to give the young star a title shot. Although WWE had big plans for Orton all along, it is still interesting to see him headlining Summerslam, instead of HHH who was originally expected to face Benoit.

Despite not being totally evident yet, there are also still plans for a long-term Orton face turn. The feeling is that if he and HHH do face off at WrestleMania as planned, Orton will be the face.

John Cena, who was considered SmackDown's Randy Orton, has not has struggled at the top of the show, in the eyes of management, and is a tier below Orton at this point.
