Was leaning that way myself, but then I thought about his partner winning, and it makes a fair bit of sense.
It’d be a fresh guy winning they clearly like, isn’t robbing them blind on a contract and has been a focal point of Raw. I think Orton winning would still get a collective groan from people, as awesome as he is, because it’s “same old, same old.” Orton can be dumped, Riddle can get back at the guy who dumped him and win, and dedicate the match to Orton.
Orton’s character could win the Rumble and surprise people by still being dedicated to the RKBro cause (man, I’m talking myself back around to Orton), but Riddle’s gimmick just seems way more natural to have a WWE Title match in his back pocket and be doing scooter races on Raw.
Everyone and their dog will be waiting for Orton to turn, which can be useful drama, especially if it never happens. Orton goes the whole way and supports his buddy in being the WWE Champion.
