I am glad to see Orton back in the ring and not making 12 Rounds: Reloadedโ€”salvaging movie franchises that Cena couldnโ€™t make successful. I like watching Orton and Del Rio go at it.

Their feud is entertaining. These two guys donโ€™t like each other and are both willing to do whatever it takes to winโ€”which for Del Rio means cheating.

The dynamics of this rivalry are slightly awkward, a heel versus an anti-hero. Orton will never be the โ€œfaceโ€ that the WWE once wanted him to be.

As for the match, I think that Del Rio will have a good run, employing some tactical methods of cheating at some pointโ€”surely Ricardo will be involved. But, for all of the effort that he may put into this match, I suspect Orton will prevail. The Viper will finally strike with an RKO to end the match. Iโ€™d like to see another one of those infamous counterattack RKOs.

Winner: Randal Keith Ortonย 

While Iโ€™m excited Orton is back in a program with someone, Iโ€™m not a fan of this feud. Iโ€™ve never been a Del Rio fan and would much rather see the โ€œfeud that never wasโ€ between Wade Barrett and Randy, but alas, we have this.

Like Michael said, the feud is kind of awkward between two bad guys, which puts a bit of a damper on this match. What happens when someone (Randy) gets the win? They both move on and forget it ever happened? I just canโ€™t see a logical payoff from this feud unless Wade Barrett gets involved at the end of the match.

Donโ€™t get me wrong, both guys can go in the ring, so Iโ€™m sure weโ€™ll have a solid match at HIAC, but I canโ€™t imagine Del Rio will get the victory. I see Randy Orton out-heeling Del Rio, evading the usual ADR tactics (Ricardo), and using his own to get the win, probably handing out at least three RKOs in the process.ย 

I just canโ€™t wait to see how Randy Orton turns an armbar attempt into an RKO.

Winner: Randy Orton

I like this feud. I like this feud a lot. Alberto Del Rio is coming off an awful program with World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and anything looks great when compared to that.

I agree with Michael in that Del Rio and Orton donโ€™t like each other. Itโ€™s a lot easier to buy into their dislike because Orton isnโ€™t the happy-go-lucky babyface Sheamus is.ย Although, I canโ€™t see Orton winning like Michael can.

I think itโ€™s too early in their feud for the babyface to be getting a win.

Iโ€™d like to see Del Rio reestablish himself after that feud with Sheamus by locking in the Cross Arm Breaker in the middle of the ring and getting a decisive submission win. The more likely scenario is that Del Rio gets the help of Ricardo, though.

Whatever happens, I think Del Rio needs this win. Itโ€™ll give him some credibility, and itโ€™ll give Orton something to really fight Del Rio over.

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

ย 

I swear weโ€™ve seen this match a thousand times over the last few years.

However, with the
three consecutive title matches against Sheamus, Iโ€™m alright with Del Rio taking on Randy Orton
if it keeps him out of the title picture. Though, he is in dire need of a gimmick change. Maybe
some time off will freshen up his act.

Randy Orton will be World Heavyweight Champion again, but it wonโ€™t be any time soon. Iโ€™mย still surprised that he barely missed any time while filming his movie. Nevertheless, he wasย definitely needed back because the main event picture is very thin. Orton will go over here onย his slow return back to the top.

Winner: ย Randy Orton
