Awesome idea, although I would not want Orton to be a face when he does this. Time and time again shows that Randy Orton isn't effective as a heel, and wouldn't be. His character is based on psychosis, for starters. How would a KO/Orton feud work with Orton being a heel? Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
(Fuck, I'm too polite. I keep on forgetting this is WWEF.)
Why wouldn't you prefer Orton as the babyface in a feud with KO, especially when you acknowledge that he isn't really effective as a heel anymore anyway?
I think a heel vs heel feud between the two
could work because Owens has that don't-give-a-fuck-about-anyone attitude that doesn't exactly endear him to those around him and we've seen before just how little regard he has for other heels on the show (he walked out on Sheamus and Rusev during a tag team match, mocked the Big Show after he was put on his back, and just walked away unconcerned when Sheamus was writhing on the ground in pain... They've also booked Owens vs Rusev a few times on he show before despite them both being heels), but I have doubts they would ever let Orton be the full-fledged Viper character again. He was a corporate paper champion last time he was heel a couple of years ago. Even as a babyface, he hasn't shown any true remnants of his old Viper persona in quite a long time other than when he flipped the bird to Seth Rollins and gave him a beat down earlier this year.
Orton wouldn't need to be a heel, though. People love edgy characters and a Randy Orton in full-swing Viper mode is really the only interesting Orton there is nowadays (not that we hardly ever see that old Orton resurface, but still.) Recent history has shown that people have little interest in booing him anymore anyway, and he amazingly remains one of the most over people on the show even when he's directionless and clearly bored and unmotivated.
