5 Reasons why Randy Orton should become the next WWE Champion

3. The Scottish Psychopath's days as WWE Champion could be numbered

Paul Heyman was behind Drew McIntyre's push.

Last week, WWE caught its fan-base off-guard when they relieved Paul Heyman from his role as Creative Head of Monday Night RAW. The event was met with a mixed response from the WWE Universe; the reaction backstage was unfavourable and WWE talent was disappointed. Vince McMahon has been tweaking the shows quite often these days and has made numerous roster adjustments in the past few months. For example, "The Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" between Randy Orton and Edge was McMahon's idea.

There is a deep and direct link between Heyman's removal and McIntyre's WWE Championship reign. First and foremost, Heyman was a proponent of McIntyre and was one of the driving forces behind his ascent to the pinnacle of WWE. With Heyman gone, the WWE Champion has lost a valuable supporter. The Scottish Psychopath shared a nice working relationship with Heyman. Vince McMahon is also an admirer of McIntyre's work, but as Heyman's dismissal shows, the Boss's mind could change any moment for the better or the worse. The atmosphere backstage is very uncertain; a myriad of employees have been released this year and plans keep changing. The Chairman could decide to take the title off McIntyre much earlier than initially planned.

Randy Orton happens to be one of Mr.McMahon's safest and most beloved performers. The CEO of WWE has always had Randy Orton on the top of his priority list. Hence, The Boss wouldn't mind making Randy Orton WWE Champion again.
