– As noted, Randy Orton was pulled from tonight’s WWE live event in Long Island at the last minute. He was backstage and granted a Make-A-Wish wish in his ring gear shortly before the show began.
Reader Marissa Garcia noted that the announcement of Orton not being on the show also mentioned that he was injured at Friday night’s Madison Square Garden live event. As noted, that was Orton’s return match from filming WWE Studios’ The Condemned 2. Orton defeated Kane in that match and later did a run-in during the main event.
Apparently Orton was injured last night at MSG & he won't be here tonight. #WWELI
