8 questions from WWE Summerslam 2017 we most need answering

#3 Why doesn't Randy Orton get the John Cena treatment?

The Apex Obstacle?

One thing that really baffles a lot of people about Randy Orton is that he does not generally receive enough criticism for not putting guys over.

Triple H and John Cena have been guilty of this in WWE's recent past but they've at least sparked quite a lot of backlash from the fans about it. Orton has been just as guilty and still continues to be in 2017, yet most of the fans stay quiet.

You could make the case that he has lost to Jinder Mahal several times over the past few months, but that argument doesn't really hold a lot of weight. For one thing, none of those losses were clean, so at no point did Orton sacrifice himself to make the champion look better than him.

Secondly, Jinder was never somebody the crowd wanted as champion in the first place, despite the fact that he's starting to win a few people around now.

At Summerslam, Orton showed us yet again that when it comes to helping fresher, younger talent climb to the top, he just isn't that interested. He practically squashed Rusev last night, a wrestler that really needed a signature victory after losing to Cena at the last PPV. And the less said about the Bray Wyatt rivalry earlier this year, the better.

Orton doesn't really have a solidified position in WWE anymore. He certainly can no longer be considered as one of the main attractions, and due to his age, he does not have that many more years to prove anything to us.

So why people are not more angry at the way he deliberately stops people advancing is baffling.
