Although details are still sketchy at this time, PWInsider.com has learned that World Wrestling Entertainment has suspended Randy Orton for 60 days. I'm not yet sure of the reason, but I hope to have more on this story later today.
5:40 PM Update: WWE issued a text message via their mobile service confirming the story, citing that Orton had been suspended for "unprofessional conduct."
It should be interesting to see what WWE does at tonight's Smackdown taping as Orton had been advertised in the main event, challenging WWE World champion Rey Mysterio.

This could be REAL bad for Orton. He's the top heel on SmackDown, and now he's left that brand in a lurch. I'm sure Vince is thrilled with that one.

|  #4 Posted on 4.4.06 1752.27 | Instant Rating: 6.25 | They should be happy they've got a champ like Rey in place, who can plausibly fight pretty much anyyone on the roster and make a compelling story out of it.
And yeah, he must've REALLY fucked up if they've pull him out of the post-WrestleMania mix over it. I'm thinking would-have-gotten-95%-of-other-wrestlers-fired kinda behaviour here.
To those who say people wouldn't look; they wouldn't be interested; they're too complacent, indifferent and insulated, I can only reply: There is, in one reporter's opinion, considerable evidence against that contention. But even if they are right, what have they got to lose? Because if they are right, and this instrument is good for nothing but to entertain, amuse and insulate, then the tube is flickering now and we will soon see that the whole struggle is lost. This instrument can teach, it can illuminate; yes, and it can even inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise it is merely wires, and lights, in a box.-Edward R. Murrow

I'd wager they'll play off the WM faceoff and have it be implied that Batista took him out after Wrestlemania in the parking lot or something like that. | EastCoastAvenger

Any ideas or speculation about what he may have done to warrant 60 days off? Did he poop in Stephanie's purse?
I wish I could respect the law. I can't. The law is a whore who demands payment up front, and then attempts to evade providing the service paid for.

Or maybe he did something along those lines and WWE finally said, "Enough." But I won't speculate as to what that might be.

Source? I've looked at four of the main news sites and found nothing so far about the tapings.

Don't know about that (don't read spoilers much), but the suspension is now posted on the WWE website and not just pwinsider.com
