Edge and Christian touch on Randy Orton’s great heel promo on last week’s episode of Smackdown. Christian points out that Orton has always been underrated as a promo guy, but Edge notes that Orton has never been underrated by anyone within the industry. People within the industry consider Orton to be one of the greatest performers to ever lace up a pair of boots. Edge continues by saying that Orton can easily be Smackdown’s top heel moving forward if they want him to be.
Christian loved the Roman Reigns/Bobby Lashley match from RAW last week. He points out that this match could have main-evented any PPV, and it doesn’t matter anymore if people cheer or boo Reigns. He points out that people are invested in Reigns either way, and in the end he’s “f***ing good”. Edge agrees, but notes that he has a hard time believing that Lashley is an evil badass. He thinks Lashley can make a few subtle character developments moving forward which would help him tremendously.
Edge says he’s really looking forward to the upcoming Seth Rollins/Dolph Ziggler match at SummerSlam. He notes that Rollins is the hottest babyface in WWE right now, and he just hopes the SummerSlam audience is more respectful towards these guys than the Pittsburgh audience was at Extreme Rules. He informs that Pittsburgh was always a city that he didn’t look forward to working in because he felt the audiences were always dead. Christian notes that it wasn’t an easy transition for Rollins from heel to babyface, but he worked hard and has definitely earned the audience’s cheers.
