They never really gave Randy the ball to be a top draw. Each time they pushed him as the top face, it always came with a huge asterisk: - In 2004, they forced the face turn after SummerSlam, and immediately had him lost the title to Triple H. After that, he was never booked to be on Triple H’s level, other than the Survivor Series win when the title wasn’t on the line. - In 2010, the real feud was between Cena and the Nexus, while Randy was just the guy holding the title. Even when he won the feud with Barrett, they immediately had Miz cash in on Randy and win the title, and they never had Randy get it back. - In 2011, they had Randy forced into the top face role on SmackDown despite the fact that Christian had just won the title. A lot of fans resented them taking the title off Christian so soon. Despite this, it was an excellent feud that Randy ultimately won at SummerSlam, but he then dropped the title to Mark Henry a month later and never regained it. Every other major push Randy has been given was as the top heel, normally against Cena, Batista, Triple H or Undertaker. These were guys that Vince continually pushed ahead of Randy, so he lost more feuds against them than he won. Yet Randy had more talent than all of them, but he was never booked as such.

​@markrobinson9394 check the numbers since he's been back he's drawing numbers in tickets sales social views merchandise and quarter ratings also the best raw average of the last 20 years was in 2009 at 5.2 millions peoples that's when randy was the guy on raw and main eventing mania. Not even cena can draw like the rock austin or hogan but doesn't mean he's not a big draw even cena credited orton for helping the era in terms of carrying the company.
