Ultimately the only thing that matters is that you serve the appropriate View as the response to the request. So yes you could rename the original file as show.blade.orig and create a new show.blade.php if you chose to do.
That being said, you should be working with some sort of revision/version control. So if you are replacing a view, and no longer require the old view "as is", I don't see any reason why you wouldn't just want to edit the original file.
