Even though the Survivor Series will emanate from his home city of St. Louis, WWE Superstar Randy Orton may not make an appearance on the card.
Monday Night RAW Spoilers And Preview
Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that the WWE may write Orton off of television on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW because "The Viper" will be taking time off to work on The Condemned 2, which begins filming on Nov. 11.
Orton was recently pulled from the WWE's European tour that kicks off next week and he may also be held out of storylines through the rest of November, casting doubt on his ability to appear at the Nov. 23 Survivor Series at the Scottrade Center.
Dean Ambrose vs. Bray Wyatt Reportedly Added To Survivor Series Card
With next week's episode of RAW emanating from England and Orton not expected to go on the trip overseas, it is possible that the WWE opts to write him out of its storylines this week on RAW.
It was expected that Orton would be a part of the Team Cena vs. Team Authority traditional elimination tag team match at Survivor Series, but Orton is no longer being advertised locally for the event, despite being from Missouri.
There is some expectation that Orton will miss the Survivor Series, though with The Condemned 2 being a WWE-produced movie, they can always give him a day off of filming to work the event.
It has been rumored that Orton may be turning face soon and the seeds have been planted with his rift with Seth Rollins and The Authority lately. It is possible that the WWE could have him be a reluctant part of Team Authority or go full-blown babyface as a part of Team Cena if he worked the event.
Orton's last scheduled date is Monday's episode of RAW at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, N.Y. He is not slated to be a part of Tuesday's SmackDown tapings, which also emanate from Buffalo.
After that, he'll be held out of the WWE's European tour and his absence could stretch passed Survivor Series.
It is unknown for sure if Orton will end up working Survivor Series, but there is a good chance that an injury angle takes place live on Monday Night RAW in Buffalo.
