He was doing much better with Evolution and looking to have a bright future but that group needed to break up because the wrestlers in are too good to be wrestling as a group and not getting a far share. Everyone there is heavyweight potential and does better on there own hence why it was broken up.

I see what you're saying it could probably boost him up again and bring him back on the crowds side but it really wouldn't work. What Orton needs is to be pushed into the heavyweight division big time and given a chance. With that he would be the wrestler we believed he was going to be.
