And to further discuss Panthera's point, yes, the entire point of this feud is that Christian is one step below Randy Orton. The point of this was NEVER to make Christian look like a world beater, or someone who was actually BETTER than Randy Orton. They've gone to extensive lengths to prove over the last 6 months that Christian is great, Christian can beat most guys on the roster, but Christian is not the best. He's very competitive with Orton, but he cannot actually find the winning combination.
Rather, the point of all this was to get crowds to HATE Christian. To see him as an underhanded scum who cared more about winning the belt than he did about ethics or even unwritten rules of the sport. You say that there was no accomplishment in Orton winning, but Christian had the title he always wanted. He didn't give one rat's ass about HOW he won it, all that was important was that HE HAD IT. In Christian's mind, he was WINNING. He got the one thing his heart desired, but to do so he had to sell out each and every last thing he believed in.
So in the end, the title was all he was left with. His title...and his comeuppance. And the one guy on SmackDown that he cannot find a way to defeat.
