For those of you that have not heard, WWE gave developmental talent Dan Rodman a main event match against WWE Champion John Cena over the weekend at a RAW brand house show in Raleigh, North Carolina. Orton, who was Cena's advertised opponent for the event, attacked Cena during the match. Orton was working the event as "injured." Regarding Rodman, he made his debut on WWE.com Heat late last month and is a 300 pound 6'7 big guy.
