Update On Randy Orton's Status With WWE
Is Orton staying around after all?
WhatCulture.com reported yesterday that Randy Orton had been granted a vacation from WWE, and the attack on Orton from the Wyatt Family during the September 7 edition of WWE RAW was reportedly to write him off television for the time being. The story was sourced from a report at PWInsider, which has since been retracted. Orton is currently scheduled to work WWE house show events this weekend in Huntsville, Alabama and Tupelo, Mississippi. He is scheduled to work against Sheamus on the shows, and iven the fact that he's part of the weekend tour, the odds of Orton attending Monday's RAW show in Memphis, Tennessee are quite high. For their part, PWInsider is claiming now that they might have been given outdated information as it relates to Orton's status with WWE. Plans within WWE are constantly changing, so even though Orton may have been scheduled to take a leave of absence, the company could have easily changed their mind within a matter of days. Prior to the report of an Orton vacation, it was being speculated that he could be the third member of the Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns team that will be taking on the Wyatt Family at Night Of Champions. It looks like that option could certainly still be on the table and even quite likely given the backstage segment that aired during RAW last week with Orton speaking with Reigns and Ambrose.
