Dave Meltzer stated on the Dec. 27 edition of Wrestling Observer Radio (available here) that Zack Ryder being placed in a romance storyline with Eve Torres and away from the main event scene stems from the staggeringly low quarter hour rating for last week's Raw SuperShow main event, which saw Long Island Iced-Z, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan stand tall against The Miz, Alberto Del Rio and Dolph Ziggler.
The main event garnered a 2.67 cable rating (2.55 for the first half of the bout), which was the lowest-rated main event on Raw in 2011 and possibly the lowest since Dec. 9, 1997 for a non-holiday show in its regular time slot. The overrun gained 59,000 viewers, which is considered terrible.
The Ryder/Torres storyline is slated to continue for at least a few weeks.
-- Tony Chimel resurfaced at Tuesday's WWE television tapings in Indianapolis, Indiana as the ring announcer for WWE NXT and WWE Superstars. He takes over for Eden Stiles, who parted ways with the organization last week. Chimel was removed as SmackDown ring announcer earlier this month due to Lilian Garcia's return to the company.

The fact that WWE Insider released that so quickly tells me it's an angle.

- As noted earlier, Randy Orton was injured at last night's SmackDown tapings in Indianapolis during the Falls Count Anywhere main event against Wade Barrett. Orton has been removed from this week's live events.
Word backstage was that Orton suffered some sort of back injury and it has to do with at least one of the discs in his back. Orton could miss up to 6 months of in-ring time, causing him to miss WrestleMania 28. An official update from WWE should be available soon.

Apparently the shot was, Barrett and Orton went through the door, the cameraman followed, and we see Orton at the bottom of the stairs and Barrett at the top. So I'm guessing Orton's had back problems recently and this was a way to take him out for a bit.

doesn't know REAL wrestling...
So Ryder is not going to feature in the main event picture? Strange considering he is the US Champion... oh wait
Juat to add a bit more, apparently Barrett and Orton went in a lift to get to the top of the flight of stairs. This would also buy some time for Orton to make it look like Barrett pushed him down (i.e. lie at the bottom of the stairs and pretend to be in pain).

I am dissapoint if he is out for 6 months. He's been awesome this year and it'd be a shame to see him gone for so long. Nice little notch on Barrett's belt though.

I doubt this is true but
- Super Luchas Magazine out of Mexico, which has been a credible source in the past, has started the rumor online that current TNA star and #1 contender to their World Heavyweight Title Jeff Hardy is the man behind WWE's cryptic January 2nd, 2012 videos and that Hardy will make his return to WWE soon.
A source close to Hardy and TNA reports that the rumor is just as it sounds - completely false.

RANDY ORTON UPDATE, SHOOTING DOWN A FALSE REPORT
By Mike Johnson on 2011-12-28 15:12:10
The ending to Smackdown for this Friday was dictated by Randy Orton's back issues. The injury was something Orton had been dealing with in recent weeks, so his match with Wade Barrett was company's way of writing the injury into the storylines.
While we do not have any update on the severity of the injury at this time, I want to note that an inaccurate report is floating around citing PWInsider.com as reporting Orton would miss Wrestlemania due to a slipped disc. Nothing of the sort was written or stated on either the free or Elite versions of PWInsider.com. Whoever published that report is stating an absolute lie, so remember that when you decide what outlets are legitimate and worth your time.

If you overlook the fact that they did indeed report that, then that article is pretty much a confirmation of common sence: Orton's not stupid enough to get thrown down the stairs and this is to write him off for a pre-existing injury.

TheDDT.com is reporting that Randy Orton's injury angle is cover for him failing a Wellness test. This would be Orton's third fail, and if WWE followed it's own policy at http://corporate.wwe.com/company/abuse_policy.jsp#15 then Orton should have been fired.
