I'm one of the few guys who think he's way better as a face than a heel anyway but having him lose cleanly in non-title matches to guys like Kofi and Cesaro is not exactly a way to get heat behind a heel champ.
I agree with you there. Orton was white-hot and he would be doing almost nothing. He only really turned heel to feud with Daniel Bryan and provide a bad guy with credibility for Bryan to overcome on his way to the top. The only thing is that the WWE forgot that Orton was meant to be credible. In a kayfabe sense, he should still be a fearless killer who is like the #2 guy next to Bryan. He should carry with him the credibility of a super-face, and should only really be a heel because he goes against the people we love.
