WWE's Plans for Randy Orton - Face or Heel?

WWE had planned until recent for Randy Orton to switch to a baby face with officials informing the merchandise department to work on some baby face items for Orton.

Those plans have now been shelved in favor of keeping Orton heel for the time being. 

WWE is looking at the following singles Superstars as top baby faces for down the line: John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro and Sheamus.

Despite this, Sheamus is still in line for a heel turn.

Latest on Batista taking off and his WWE Status

It’s said that Batista’s problem is not with Daniel Bryan. Batista isn’t happy with how things he was told would happen when he came in have been changed. It was said that the money isn’t that great and when you have money like he does, it makes it easier to leave, as we saw with CM Punk. Batista was scheduled to take time off in June any way and he had decided to just leave a few weeks early.

We noted before that WWE officials spent Sunday trying to talk him into working with Bryan at Payback. We noted early Sunday via PWInsider that backstage at Extreme Rules, Batista was giving the impression that he might stick around through Payback.

The last word on his status for Payback came just a few hours before his match Sunday night and word is that “it wasn’t looking good.”
