Here's a Big Question for all of you:
Now, I've been talking about this w/some people
John Cena and Randy Orton have been in the WWE for 8 consecutive years and the 2 of them have been Good Friends ever since
They both made there debuts on SD!
Orton's very 1st match was against Hardcore Holly while Cena's very 1st match was against Kurt Angle
Orton would also have a shot @ The Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship against The Undertaker, but despite coming up short, Orton showed that he was ready for anything
But in late summer of 2002, Orton moved from SD! to RAW and his very 1st match was against ECW Alumni Steven Richards and in 2003, he would soon join up w/Triple H, Ric Flair and Batista as part of the group Evolution
@ Wrestlemania XIX, Cena and Orton did not appear that night due to injuries, but Cena would soon challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Heavyweight Championship, but Cena came up short
@ Summerslam 16, Orton would have a shot @ the World Heavyweight Championship in The Elimination Chamber Match against Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Chris Jericho and Goldberg, but Orton would fall victum to Goldberg's Spear
@ Armageddon 2003, Evolution would end up winning all of the Gold on RAW
Triple H as the World Heavyweight Champion for a 3rd time, Ric Flair and Batista as the WWE World Tag Team Champions for the very 1st time and Randy Orton would win his 1st WWE I-C Heavyweight Championship @ the age of 23
Orton would hold on to the WWE I-C Gold for 30 consecutive weeks while on the SD! side, John Cena would compete in his very 1st Wrestlemania against The Big Show @ Wrestlemania XX as Cena would win the WWE U.S. Heavyweight Championship for the very 1st time and on that same night, Orton along w/Ric Flair and Batista would def. The Reunited Rock 'N' Sock Connection in a 2 on 3 Handicap Match
Orton would have 2 successful I-C Title defenses on LIVE WWE PPV's against "Cactus Jack" Mick Foley @ Backlash and Shelton Benjamin @ Bad Blood, but the following month @ Vengeance, he would lose the I-C Gold to Edge while John Cena was stripped of the U.S. Strap by then SD! GM Kurt Angle
4 weeks later @ Summerslam 17, John Cena would def. Booker T. in the 1st of the Best of 5 Series to crown the Undisputed U.S. Heavyweight Champion and on that same night, Orton would def. Chris Benoit to not only win his 1st World Heavyweight Championship, but he would become the Youngest World Heavyweight Champion in the history of the WWE
However, the following night on RAW, Triple H and Evolution would turn their back on Orton after winning the World Heavyweight Championship
Orton would lose the World Title to The Game @ UNFORGIVEN 2004 thanks to Ric Flair and Batista
But the following month @ No Mercy in the 5th and Final Fall, Cena would regain the U.S. Heavyweight Title for a 2nd time against Booker T., but just days later on SD!, Cena would lose the belt to Carlito and it was Carlito's very 1st match on SD!

@ Summerslam 18, Cena would retain the WWE Heavyweight Championship against Chris Jericho for 2 nights in a row while Orton would def. The Undertaker thanks to "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Jr.
@ Survivor Series 19, John Cena would successfully retan the WWE Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle while Orton became the Sole Survivor @ Survivor Series when he won for Team SD!, but The Undertaker returned to get his revenge on The Ortons
@ Armageddon 2005, Orton would face Taker inside Hell in a Cell and after a hard fought win, Taker was just too much for Orton and his Dad to Handle
@ Wrestlemania 22, Randy Orton would get another shot @ the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio in a Triple Threat Match and Mysterio won the match and the World Heavyweight Championship for the very 1st time while John Cena retained the WWE Heavyweight Championship against Triple H
However, just days later, Kurt Angle would def. Randy Orton in the 1st Qualifying Match to determine the 2006 King of the Ring, but then, Orton was later suspended for 60 days for his Unprofessional Conduct
But after serving his 60 Day Suspension, Randy Orton would return to RAW and he would finish off his Feud against Kurt Angle
He would also compete against Hulk Hogan @ Summerslam 19, but Hogan once again remained Undefeated @ Summerslam
Orton would also team up w/Edge and formed Rated-RKO against DX
Cena and Orton would end up on RAW and the 2 of them have feuded on RAW for the WWE World Tag Team Championship and the WWE Heavyweight Championship
Cena & HBK would def. Rated-RKO to win the WWE World Tag Team Championship
Cena and Orton would also compete @ Wrestlemania 23
Cena would def. HBK to retain the WWE Heavyweight Championship while Orton competed in Money in the Bank which was won by Mr. Kennedy
Here's a list of PPV's that Cena & Orton competed in for the WWE Heavyweight Championship:

and also, John Cena and Randy Orton have competed @ Wrestlemania 25th Anniversary when Cena def. Edge & Big Show to win his 2nd World Heavyweight Championship while Randy Orton came up short of winning the WWE Heavyweight Championship against Triple H, but Orton would retain the title @ The Final Backlash PPV after 1 year of losing the belt while Cena would lose the World Heavyweight Championship not only back to Edge, but also, back to SD!

While Orton would def. Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Cody Rhodes in a Triple Threat Match @ Wrestlemania 26
The night after Wrestlemania 26, Cena and Orton would def. Batista and Jack Swagger in a Tag Team Match
and now, John Cena and Randy Orton have had a long and rocky road on RAW and the 2 of them are still Good Friends in Real Life
But, it seems that people feel that Randy Orton is not getting the credit that he's asking for, but someone felt that if Cena went to SD!, then Orton would get his props or if Orton goes to SD! and win the World Heavyweight Championship, then he would be a Big Draw to the SD! Brand
and so, I ask you all this:
Should John Cena and Randy Orton be on the Same Brand or should they on Separate Brands?
Should Cena & Orton be on RAW together or SD! together?
Should Cena be on SD! and Orton stay w/RAW or should Cena stay w/RAW and Orton move to SD!?
That's the Question!
Please Debate on this
