Orton/RAW News, Ric Flair's WWE Status, More

The word making the rounds in WWE is that Randy Orton missed Raw last night due to getting married to his fianc? Samantha on Friday. Just to be clear, Orton was not suspended, despite his name being linked to the Signature Pharmacy case.

Ric Flair is still collecting checks from his weekly downside guarantee. Flair and WWE agreed to keep him giving notice confidential, and neither sides were happy when the story leaked out, which likely explains why Flair has denied the story in recent weeks. WWE and Flair are in talks to resolve their differences.

WWE.com announced that Lyndy Frieson was the second contestant eliminated from the 2007 WWE Diva Search.

The final RAW of 2007 will be taped on December 29th at the Greensboro Coliseum. Tickets go on sale for the event this Saturday.
