Is Virgil Already Done W/ WWE?, + Orton & DiBiase Injury Updates

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

– John Morrison was backstage at RAW Monday night. He is nursing an ankle injury, but was said to be moving around well.

– Randy Orton has told friends he doesn't expect his shoulder injury to keep him out of action for long. While he initially feared the worst when he suffered the injury at Over The Limit, it appears he will be healed in time for next month's Fatal 4-Way pay-per-view, which he is advertised for. Though Orton appeared to suffer the injury during his match with Edge on Sunday, he entered the match hurt. He worked a tag match with John Cena against Batista and Sheamus the previous night and was nursing the arm late in the bout. It doesn't appear a bump caused the injury as after making a tag to Cena, he immediately grabbed his arm and held it in pain for the remainder of match.

– As everyone knows by now, Ted DiBiase suffered a concussion very early in his match with R-Truth this past Sunday night at Over The Limit when Truth slapped him across the face and knocked him loopy. An audible was called due to the injury, as DiBiase was tabbed to blame Virgil for his loss, subsequently knocking him out with the Dream Street. It remains unclear at this time whether Santino Marella hitting Virgil with the Vulcan Neck Pinch in a comedy segment the following night on RAW constituted his character being written off, or if it will happen within the next few weeks. Regarding DiBiase, he won't be allowed to wrestle until medically cleared. He is expected to be kept out the ring for a few weeks so he can heal.
