- As noted, Randy Orton and his wife are expecting a baby girl on November 22nd, two days after Sunday's Survivor Series pay-per-view. This caused some speculation that Orton might end up missing Sunday's pay-per-view. Dave Meltzer noted in The Wrestling Observer that Orton is only expected to take a week off after Sunday's pay-per-view, and will be back at the SmackDown tapings on November 29th in Columbia, South Carolina.
