WWE has pulled Randy Orton from advertising for tonight's RAW at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX. Orton is also not scheduled to appear at Tuesday's SmackDown tapings or this weekend's WWE live events. He has also been removed from advertising for all WWE televised events untilThe Royal Rumble.
As noted earlier, F4WOnline reported that Orton was scheduled to take a couple of weeks off after having minor surgery for a deviated septum.

Orton is currently scheduled for The Royal Rumble, as well as the post-Rumble RAW. It should be noted that Orton is still scheduled for the following live events before the Rumble:

* Sat, Jan 17 at the Taylor County Coliseum in Abilene, TX
* Sun, Jan 18 at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, TX
* Fri, Jan 23 at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, NJ
* Sat, Jan 24 at the Izod Center in East Rutherford, NJ

- Well, ain't that just grand? So much about getting Orton vs Rollins at the Rumble.

But I guess keeping him away from TV tapings would make his return at the Rumble as more of a surprise.

I wonder if it'll be Ryback vs. Kane again and Randy vs Rollins at RR.. the shows he's still scheduled for would make at least some sort of build up.. or I guess they could do Ryback vs Rollins with Rollins going over and Reigns vs Orton with Orton going over.

Rollins is scheduled for the World Title match now so Randy vs Rollins nor Ryback vs Rollins is happening.

It's fine, just didn't know if you had watched RAW or not and seen the announcement; sorry.

While relating to the matter of Orton, if Rollins doesn't win the title at the Rumble/or loses the case I can see Orton and Rollins happening at Mania; especially if Orton screws Rollins over.

I hope something like that happens.. Royal Rumble seems like it shall be quite a show.. Hope it lives up to the hype of its' main event.

Really? I thought he wasn't legitimately injured.

If he is, then would be great if he could make it at the Rumble.

That's what I read, I mean I don't know how true it is but I saw it on Bleacher Report a few days ago.

Well, hopefully it's all a work so that they could keep his return at the Rumble as more of a surprise.
