WWE SummerSlam Results: What's Next for Randy Orton After Winning World Title?

For the third time in his career and the second time this year, Randy Orton won the World Heavyweight Championship on Sunday at SummerSlam after beating Christian in a No Holds Barred Match.

With the beginning of another Age of Orton underway, what could be next for "The Viper?"

Let's look at the possibilities.

Christian

The fact that this feud is not the biggest and best of the year is in no way disrespectful to either man.

It just shows how amazing the feud between CM Punk and John Cena has been. This feud has been wonderful as well.

I can't remember two world championship feuds happening at the same time with each being this great.

The fact that both men have gone back and forth in winning World Title matches keeps this feud going, as one man has not won title match after title match.

Something I'd like to see if the feud lasts long enough would be a "do-or-die" type of match at Hell in a Cell, where the loser can never face the champion again.

Cody Rhodes

You have the mentor vs. mentee angle in reference to "Legacy" as well as the champion vs. champion angle, and the second/third generation superstar angle.

It's a trifecta of angles!

Wade Barrett

The former Intercontinental Champion picked up his first pay-per-view win of 2011 at SummerSlam over former United States Champion Daniel Bryan.

Now that Barrett is no longer part of The Corre or The Nexus, he's on his own and proving his worth.

They put on a great program during Bragging Rights and Survivor Series while Barrett was leader of The Nexus.

Now that he's on his own, he can do his own thing.
