Rumors Are Flying: Randy Orton, WWE Signing, Velvet Sky, CM Punk Pay
The following are rumors, and should be treated as such. Fightful can’t verify the authenticity of these rumors, unless we’ve debunked them.
– Velvet Sky was backstage at Backlash, but we were told there was no talk of her being brought in to the company.
– There are reports that Randy Orton has been dealing with concussion issues, but we’ve been unable to confirm this. He took a bump at Backlash, something that the company doesn’t usually allow with concussed performers.
– PWInsider says WWE has known about Orton’s injury for weeks, and still promoted his match with Wyatt.
– According to Wrestling Observer, Eric Young has signed with WWE.
– The WWE hopes to have German Goalkeeper Tim Wiese ready for an in-ring debut for their German tour in early November.
– It’s being reported that CM Punk earned the minimum Reebok payout of $2,500, but it’s very likely that he negotiated a different amount when signing with the company.
