Randy Orton Upset, Get Ready For The De-Push of The Miz
John Cena is the number one guy in the WWE. There is no one the company feels is more valuable than him. The only man that comes close is Randy Orton. He will be around for a long time and the WWE is counting on him to make them a lot of money in the future. So it's always a good idea to try your best to not piss either of these guys off, especially Orton.
We all remember Ken Anderson getting fired for botching a suplex on Orton. It was widely speculated that Orton had gone to management with his issues with how Anderson worked in the ring and finally he confirmed as much:
I did tell Ken that he shouldn't be dropping me on my head with such a simple basic move. He never said sorry, and even called me a liar after the match. I remember looking at him in disbelief. And yes, I did tell management I did not want to work with him after that. Who wouldn't? That's my side.
There was also an instance with Kofi Kingston this past January when Kofi messed up the timing of the finish to a match between the two. Orton very clearly yelled at Kingston right there on camera, calling him stupid and cursing at him. The problem was that Kofi was in the midst of his big main event push. Guess what happened to that? Yep.
Now we have yet another instance of a wrestler getting on Orton's bad side. On the July 26th Raw, Randy Orton had a match against Jey Uso with Sheamus at ringside. Orton defeats Uso and invites Sheamus into the ring. While he's doing so Jimmy Uso comes in and attacks Orton. Sheamus tries to capitalize but Orton moves and he knocks Uso out of the ring. When Sheamus turns around Orton gives him the RKO.
After a few seconds the Miz music hits and he comes down to try to cash in the money in the bank briefcase. While the ref is holding Miz back and waiting for Sheamus to get to his feet so he can "officiallly" start the match, Orton, who had been pacing outside the ring, quickly comes back in and hits the RKO on the Miz. Immediately after you can see Orton start yelling and screaming "you motherf--". Apparently Randy felt like the Miz was positioned as such to give away the fact that he was going to get hit with the RKO. You can watch the video here and judge for yourself. Personally, I can see where Orton has a problem. It's a pretty big mistake to make on the part of the Miz.
The question now becomes, are we going to see him quickly fade back down to the mid-card? Well, if history is any indicator don't be surprised if it that is exactly what happens.

I dunno man. I just think the angle is set up well. The reason he’s not gonna main event for long right now is because he just blew the MITB, not because he really did anything wrong. Before this, he’s done an excellent job of getting himself over as a guy that belongs in the spot. RaI think they’ll sell him as the first guy that didn’t cash in, and he’ll work his way back to the spot and take it. Maybe I’m giving the writers too much credit, but I’d like it if they built it that way. I see no legit heat there.

I see what you're saying but I hope your wrong.
Miz needs to win the WWE Title if only to shake up the Main Event scene. I see how he was positioned wrong but I think the spot still came off well enough on TV and to the actual audience. It’d be a shame if Miz was sent back to the mid-card. Nobody wants to see another main event prospect get Kofi’d. Damn.
RIP, Coach Wooden.
Thank you, Geoff Petrie.
I don’t think he will be “de-pushed” and I think Orton is being a whiner about it. It really wasn’t that big of issue so he needs to calm down.
The Miz is on fire right now, though we already know he will be the first to not successfully cash in MITB.
Everyone makes mistakes
The case is a bit different, as Mr. Kennedy could have hurt Orton. The Kofi Kingston one was a bit BS. I’m not a huge fan of the Miz, but I love to see fresh faces in the title hunt.
Keep in mind that Orton has broken his clavicle a few times
The way Miz took the bump with his chest could have really hurt Orton’s shoulder again. The RKO is a simple move but if its done wrong Orton can get hurt.
That being said you left out the fact that Ken Kennedy had hurt numerous guys including Orton before that match. Miz has had no such reputation and Orton and Miz worked the RAW main event the week after so Orton was probably cool.
Miz is WAY hotter than Kofi or Kennedy was is their pushes so there is no way he gets punished for botching a move.
Freedom is a road seldom traveled by the multitudes...
