Top WWE Star Pulled From Survivor Series?, Backstage Notes On Tonight's RAW & Randy Orton

We noted before that WWE may be doing an injury angle with Randy Orton to write him off TV for a few weeks as he will begin filming The Condemned 2 on November 11th. If they do it, that angle would happen tonight as next week's RAW takes place from England and Orton was pulled from that tour.

It's still very possible that Orton misses Survivor Series, despite being expected for the Team Cena vs. Team Authority match. Orton was pulled from local advertising for the pay-per-view, which takes place in his hometown of St. Louis. He was also removed from the events page for the PPV on WWE.com. It was said that there's a good chance Orton misses Survivor Series, but because The Condemned 2 is a WWE movie, they can always give him a day off to work the pay-per-view.

Orton's last scheduled date is tonight's RAW. He is not booked for Tuesday's SmackDown tapings in Albany and as noted, is not booked for the European tour that begins this week.

On a related note, this has become the norm but the script for tonight's RAW was not finalized as of late Sunday night.
