WWE Confirms New ECW Champion, Orton/WWE, More

The following is from WWE.com: The Punk era has begun in the Land of the Extreme. At a television taping in Cincinnati Saturday night, CM Punk made the most of his No. 1 Contender status and defeated John Morrison for the ECW Championship. Witness the Straightedge Superstar making Extreme history for yourself, when ECW on Sci Fi airs this momentous ECW Title Match in its entirety, Tuesday night at 10/9 CT.

A press release, which was sent out yesterday by WWE for tonight's RAW house show in Terre Haute, reveals that Umaga and Mr. Kennedy have been pulled from the show. That information comes from a local radio advertisement. The main card features John Cena vs. Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. Cryme Tyme. If this proves to be true, then Randy Orton was not suspended. As noted earlier, many wrestlers backstage are under the belief that Orton wasn't suspended. It should also be noted that radio ads have also said "TV cameras invade the Hulman Center," to make people think it's a TV taping.
