So Randy Orton's putting together a faction called The Legacy. In story, it is to be a group of second (or third)-generation wrestlers who feel that they are entitled to...something. Booking-wise, it would seem that the intention is to use Orton to elevate some of the young roster members to close to Main Event status. OK. Got it.
Over the last few weeks, he has been putting the candidates through a bit of a "rush" period. If they win, they get to stay in consideration. If they lose, they're out. Pretty easy stuff. As of this writing, both Manu and Sim Snuka have been eliminated and Cody Rhodes remains as the only contender.
This is pretty clearly headed one of two ways:
Option 1: Rhodes will lose on Monday, and Orton will have no more potential Legacy members. How much of a SWERVE would that be? Nobody would see that coming!
Option 2: Rhodes will lose on Monday, and Orton will reveal his Grand Scheme. Out will come the REAL Legacy members--Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Goldust. Goldust will reveal himself to be Dustin Runnells, the son of Dusty Rhodes. I know! SWERVE CITY!! This will elevate Chavo and Goldust and also sets up a natural Cody vs. Dustin feud for Wrestlemania. Chavo will move to Raw and continue his role as "third wheel" in a main event angle.
