For Randy Orton, the storm has come before the calm, as he will prove when he emerges from the wreckage of the Elimination Chamber with his championship still in hand. His shoddy record against his opponents at the upcoming pay-per-view is just a case of WWE performing sleight of hand. He has been made to look vulnerable only to entice fans of the possibility that someone will dethrone him as he remains the central figure to the championship drama. In his latest reign, Orton has been portrayed as a snake, but not in the striking predator sense. Hes instead characterized as someone who slips away, hides and seems destined to be beheaded only to avoid the sword in the end. Other men have been the aggressors and the victors since Triple H booked Orton to face each foe that will be after his title at Elimination Chamber. Hes taken on John Cena, Daniel Bryan, Cesaro, Christian and soon Sheamus, one by one. The Viper is 1-3 in those battles with a chance to go 1-4 if he falls to Sheamus on Mondays Raw. Even Cesaro, who John Bradshaw Layfield and Michael Cole have pegged as the Chambers dark horse, pinned Orton on the Feb. 14 SmackDown with no interference, no flukiness required.
