In a perfect world, Orton would walk out of the Citrus Bowl as champion. Neither HHH or Cena needs the the title to be over.
I know a lot of people don't like Orton, Shadows and I are supporters, but it would make WrestleMania if he was to retain. Nobody would be expecting it and it seems like Orton needs the title for the WWE to do anything with him.
I've also always been a fan of heel champions.
Title changes at Mania should mean something. It isn't the first reign for either HHH or Cena. The only thing that would make it special is if Orton retained.
I have NEVER been an HHH fan. I never thought he was anymore than average in the ring and he isn't particularly entertaining on the mic, especially as a face. "Oh, how funny. He made an inside joke that only internet marks would get it. He so funny."
He has had decent matches with guys who are very good. He has never had to carry anyone to a good match.
I am intrigued as to how Show/Mayweather will go.
The build up for HBK/Flair has been good, especially this past week. If Flair loses, I still hope for a heel manager role with Orton.
