Vince’s "plan" for Keith Lee

[Dale]

According to Alex McCarthy of talkSPORT:

A company source reached out to talkSPORT after the event and said Vince McMahon had tasked Orton with making Lee a star before the match.

“Imagine how high Vince has to be on someone to have Randy Orton put them over clean as a whistle. Orton, doing the best work of his career, wants to help create that next generation of stars. He gets it.”

The source said McMahon wants to ‘push Lee to the moon’ and he thought Orton was the perfect foil for him to do that right now. It seems Orton was only too happy to go along with the boss’ orders, as you’d expect.

I'm sure a lot of people myself included are happy with this but we've heard this report over and over before the inevitable 'Vince has given up on X' report a few months later.

My takeaway from the article is Vince has given up on Randy Orton.

I know they're on different brands but with Roman turning heel (ie WWE officially giving up on the roman as the face of the company shtick) it makes sense that Vince is looking for the next superface.

Yeah I’ll believe it when I see it. That’s all I have to say about that.

Until he gets done and bored with his toys.

My takeaway from the article is Vince has given up on Randy Orton.

Nah, he trusts Orton to get people over. Orton is one of those guys like Y2J was in his WWE run. Doesn't need a title, and can take a loss without it hurting him.
