This allows them to get the title off of Orton and put it on either Bryan or Lesnar

An injured Orton would not have any major implication on the ratings. He's never been a major draw. He's been a decent secondary draw but he's never drawn as a major player (see Cena, Rock, Austin)

what source are you getting this from?

Orton is a proven ratings draw
Here is a chart showing Orton's PPV buy rates comparing him headlining to the average PPV

As you'd expect, nobody gives a fuck about Orton since about 2004.

he was a mega draw before 2008.

it must be because of 2009 when they fucked his push up, there own fault

Orton is to blame as well. He has not way to emotionally connect with the crowd in a way that generates ratings. He's a talented technician but as a character he's boring and uninteresting. And he's been given shot after shot at becoming the top guy over the years. He was the heir apparent when he got called up but he didn't connect with the crowd in that way and likely never will.

Plus a crappy backstage attitude doesn't help him either.

He's a decent cornerstone, a secondary player, but he'll never be the big player or the big draw.
