Randy Orton Responds To Report On His WWE Status, New NXT Tag Team Formed

- It was reported this week on various websites that Randy Orton has reached a new agreement with WWE where he will only appear at house shows on a limited basis. The rumor was based on a report on Wednesday in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that stated, "Orton apparently has a deal where he's not working full-time on the road anymore, doing limited weekends." Orton posted a message on Twitter this afternoon debunking the claim.

It's come to my attention the net is stating I signed a new deal with lesser dates. Remember people, you can't believe everything you read!
