As noted last week, Randy Orton needs to undergo a minor surgical operation for a deviated septum. As a result, Orton has been pulled from tonight’s edition of RAW and is not scheduled to attend any WWE live events until the Royal Rumble.
As noted a few weeks ago, there was talk within WWE of doing a major angle that will “kick off WrestleMania 31 season in a big way” on the first edition of WWE RAW in 2015.
While there aren’t a lot of specific details regarding what the big angle is, at last word the plan was still for something of significance to happen on tonight’s RAW, which takes place from the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
