Update On Major Star Returning This Week, How It Affects CM Punk & Daniel Bryan

As noted earlier, Randy Orton is scheduled to return on RAW tomorrow night. Orton was suspended for 60 days on May 31st, 2012, for his second violation of the company's Wellness Program. In addition to RAW, Orton is also scheduled for Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Indianapolis, IN.

CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, who had been touring with the SmackDown crew during Orton's suspension, will be moved back to the RAW tour and are scheduled to wrestle each other at next weekend's RAW live events in Florida, Georgia and Alabama.

The SmackDown crew has a rare break next weekend before heading to Tokyo, Japan for a pair of events after finishing up the television tapings on August 6th & 7th. Orton is scheduled for the Japan tour.

As we reported last month, Orton is expected to be pushed upon his return, and is advertised to face Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio in triple threat matches for the World Heavyweight Championship throughout the summer and fall.
