If Randy Orton turns heel, who will turn face then?

If Orton turns heel, then who in your opinion should have a face turn in order to balance things out on Smackdown?

I can't see it being Del Rio or even Barrett because they are just too over as heels in the sense that the crowd wouldn't even be able to buy either one of them as faces, so who could turn face?

Ziggler as a face, maybe

But I can't wait until Orton turns heel because me personally I enjoy him much better as a heel anyway and as a heel, his talk of The Age of Orton is always what gets me behind him

The Miz has turned babyface and then there is Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, Christian, Bryan Danielson, Kofi Kingston, Justin Gabriel, Tyson Kidd and Sin Cara all working SmackDown every week so it's not as if Randy Orton would have no one to work with and in reality people like Bryan Danielson, Kofi Kingston and Justin Gabriel would only benefit from working with a heel Randy Orton.

I think they turned Miz face in preparation of Orton's impending heel turn. That would leave, in terms of kayfabe status:

Face
John Cena
Sheamus
Ryback
Kane
The Miz
Rey Mysterio
Christian
Kofi Kingston
Sin Cara
R-Truth

Heel
CM Punk
Randy Orton
Big Show
Alberto Del Rio
Dolph Ziggler
Wade Barrett
Antonio Cesaro
Damien Sandow
Cody Rhodes

Mark Henry will probably return as a babyface, due to Show being the monster heel. Swagger is also due to return as a babyface. Bryan is pretty much a tweener, who knows whether he will turn heel on Kane or not.

Punk can't turn face, the plans for him to headline Wrestlemania all mean he needs to be a heel. The Rock is going to be face no matter what, and the other option is John Cena who Vince refuses to turn heel.

Miz is already turning face, the sheep all cheer for him though I don't think they actually gave him a face turn other than working on Team Foley, which isn't really that much of a turn.

If the rumors are true that after the Ziggler/Cena feud they want Orton to go after Ziggler who will win the WHC then it would mean Ziggler would have to become a face. So a double turn could happen when they get ready for that feud.
