– After Randy Orton’s match against AJ Styles at last night’s house show in Hershey, Pennsylvania was stopped due to a storyline injury, WWE will follow up on the situation tonight.
WWE.com has announced a segment with Orton for tonight’s Raw: “Following reports of Randy Orton sustaining an injury that stopped his match at WWE Live in Hershey, Pa., last night, and subsequent confirmation of The Viper’s post-show medical evaluation, WWE.com has learned that the 13-time World Champion will receive a block of time to address the results of that evaluation on tonight’s Raw. Tune in tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network to hear what Orton has to say.”
It initially appeared that Orton suffered a knee injury at last night’s house show, but Dave Meltzer reported that it was part of a storyline that would play out on television.
– Becky Lynch also sent out a tweet today setting up her appearance on Raw: “It’s amazing what they’ll give you when you remind them your contract is coming up soon. More to say on Raw.”
Lynch issued a challenge to Asuka last Monday. After Asuka said Lynch would have to put the title on the line, Lynch told her to name the time and place. A match between them has yet to be officially announced.
Tonight’s Raw is taking place at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. Aleister Black will face Buddy Murphy on the show, and WWE is advertising a segment where Lana and Bobby Lashley will get married.
