Update: Top WWE Star Not Taking Time Off; Scheduled for Next Week's Tapings

It has been widely speculated that top WWE Superstar Randy Orton would be taking time off to film the new WWE Studios movie "12 Round: Reloaded". That speculation was all but confirmed when WWE ran what was thought to be an injury angle, during last week's Smackdown, to write Orton off television.

However, it appears that WWE has plans to keep Randy Orton on during his filming for "12 Rounds: Reloaded", as he is scheduled to appear in next week's "WWE Main Event", in a re-match against the Big Show. As this is taped prior to Smackdown, it is likely Orton will make an appearance on Friday Night as well.
