Frankly, if he was made champion right away, I would be very disappointed.
Looks at Orton... looks at Jericho. I know there's no reason for Jericho to even be in a title match, hell, we don't even know why he's on RAW even though he was fired (Anyone remember that?). But I'd rather have Jericho as champ instead of Orton anyday of the week, month and/or year.
With that said, I see Orton winning and continuing to bore us at least until the Royal Rumble.
