Many thought that Randy Orton was starting his long rumored heel turn when he hit Daniel Bryan with an RKO on SmackDown last week. While they did run the angle on SmackDown, Orton remained a babyface at this weekend’s WWE live events and teamed with Daniel Bryan in his matches. During those matches, there was no tease of an Orton heel turn.
During a recent interview with Busted Open Radio. Orton talked about being a babyface. Here is what he said:
“Well the more over I can get as a babyface, when I turn, the bigger the heel I’ll be. So if they wanna keep me a babyface, I’ll just keep doing my thing. And keep my five or six or four, whatever it is, moves. Keep them crisp and see what happens.
But right now, being the good guy, it’s cool. Because they’re digging it. I think the face thing works for me because I tried the best I could when I was turning to keep some of those heel characteristics. And I think I did. But then there was a point where they were really big on me smiling when I came out to the ring.
I swear, I shit you not. I’m sitting there, and my music plays, and then I hear someone calling my name. And I look over, it’s Vince. And he takes his headset off and he stands up and he goes “SMILE!” And I’m like, okay. I’m thinking in my head, a year ago, a little nine-year-old girl in the front row, if I gave her the right kind of look or expression and walked towards her. Still 20 feet away from her, but if she was ring side, I could get her to cry, or get behind her mom.
They were scared of me. I had like this Undertaker type, weird aura. They didn’t know what I was. They knew I was capable of doing anything. They didn’t know what they were going to get from me. I’m kicking people in the head. I’m kissing Stephanie McMahon and nailing Triple H with the sledgehammer. It was a good time.
