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.
Bob's Opinion: 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.
WWE Divas Champion Beth Phoenix wrote the following on Twitter last night, teasing why she wasn't there: "Great. to see @NatbyNature and @KiddWWE lookin' vicious on Raw…where was I? Wouldnt u all like to know #secret"
Chris Jericho continued to tease fans on Twitter over the weekend by saying he would never be in another WWE game again. Late on Sunday, Jericho wrote the following:
"Sick of all the questions so this is it...from now on I'm not answering anymore wrestling related questions. I'm done w WWE. Deal with it"
While it's assumed that a lot of Zack Ryder's current push comes from officials being impressed by what he's done on his own, it's said that CM Punk is mostly responsible. Punk has went to WWE management on numerous occasions and told them to get behind Ryder.
Bob's Opinion: Considering the Ratings that RAW has been getting, I don't think listening to Punk should be on the agenda
Below is a new interview that Mick Foley did with Peter Rosenberg. Foley discusses his friendship with Owen Hart, the possibility of another match, Mark Henry and more:
The company has been looking at sites in Florida of late as well as the Northeast for a possible location for an actual WWE Hall of Fame. Building the Hall has come back into the news, due to the fact that it is something WWE can promote daily on the WWE Network. Also, they could use the venue as a staging point for filming different segments for the Network. The company is in acquisition mode right now, looking to acquire historical pieces for the Hall.
The following titles were added to Netflix Instant Watch as of today:
* Batista: I Walk Alone * Born to Controversy: The Roddy Piper Story * Edge: A Decade of Decadence * History of the WWE Championship * Hulk Hogan: The Ultimate Anthology * Nature Boy Ric Flair: The Definitive Collection * Road Warriors * The American Dream: The Dusty Rhodes Story * The New and Improved DX * The Shawn Michaels Story: Heartbreak & Triumph * The Spectacular Legacy of the AWA * The Triumph and Tragedy of World Class Championship Wrestling * Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker

Hulk Hogan tweeted this picture of himself with Charlie Sheen on his Twitter with the text, "The 3 musketeers gone bad." The picture was taken at the Video Game Awards.
Kevin Nash said on Twitter that he will have surgery on his nose the 27th of this month and has a concussion after the match with Triple H at TLC. He wrote:
"Went to nose quack today. surgery 27th. decent concussion. seeing ortho on left elbow. love or hate me, i gave it all i had."
Alberto Del Rio and Beth Phoenix were both injured at Monday's WWE RAW Supershow from Philadelphia.
Del Rio was carried out of the building by trainers after Raw went off the air, according to pwinsider.com. There was some fear that he may have suffered a groin injury, but after being checked out by WWE trainers, he's said to be doing alright. He's not expected to miss any ring time, despite some soreness.
Beth Phoenix has a nasty lump on the side of her face following her match with Alicia Fox. At this time, it's unclear at what point in the match the injury takes place, but it looks like she has a golf ball sticking out of her right temple. She tweeted:
@AliciaFoxy tried her hardest to destroy my face. There will be hell to pay for trying to tarnish my beauty."
"After hours in the trainers room, I broke a lot of mirrors with my fists.
Phoenix's partner Natalya tweeted a message of support:
"@TheBethPhoenix i am sorry to see what happened on Raw...But we are still UNBREAKABLE."
Bob's Opinion: A better RAW then I've seen in awhile, sorry two wrestlers had to be hurt to make that happen though
Former WWE superstar Batista tweeted the following about Daniel Bryan's World Heavyweight title win on Sunday night:
"excuse me! did i hear that right? Daniel Bryan World Heavyweight Champ. ummmmmmm.....ok."
After Batista's tweet set off a firestorm of responses from people calling him a hater for apparently not sounding pleased with WWE's decision to put the World title on Bryan, he replied:
"man did that comment bring the tough guy haters out. well i'm at Gracie Fighter Tampa daily. 6333 s. dale mabry hwy Tampa FL. stop on by"
Shortly thereafter, Batista followed up with the following statement, explaining his relationship with Daniel Bryan and why tweets from haters mean nothing to him:
"so to clear up any misunderstanding about me hating on Daniel Bryan...actually i've been a supporter of his for years,unlike most of you Johnny come lately smart mark supporters. we actually had a hell of a match together that was originally supposed to be a squash match until this old broken down ex bodybuilder who never deserved to be champion and only had it handed to me because HHH was my boy...refused to job the kid out because i knew how good he was and wanted to have a f*cking match with him before i left the company. and a hell of a match we had considering where our respective places in the company were at the time. so yes im aware of all of his accomplishments and hard work through out the years and i'm thrilled to death for him....but still...World Heavyweight champ???ummmmmmm...ok. opinions are like *ssholes. my Twitter account,my opinion. and to all the bitch ass haters who just dogged me out and bitched about how horrible i was.....i've worked with HHH, the Undertaker,Rey Mysterio,Randy Orton Stone Cold,Edge,John Cena,Chris Benoit,Ric Fucking Flair!!etc.etc.. and they all respected me and my work. Eddie Guerrero respected my work. so don't expect your little bullsh*t remarks to actually carry any weight. in your b*tch ass faces!! "
Bob's Opinion: Actually it sounds like their remarks must be of some importance seeing as how pissed you seem to be getting from them
John Cena was backstage at WWE's TLC pay-per-view but not used because of a decision by the creative team. It was decided that it was time to let other talents be focused on.
Bob's Opinion: Cena and Kane's feud will pick up on tonight's RAW.
According to a source close to Kevin Nash, in his mind his match with Triple H at TLC was his retirement match. WWE could always decide to bring him back for another feud but Nash is under the impression that's it. He wrote on Twitter last night:
"Thanks Paul,nice to end it with someone I love."
Bob's Opinion: There should have been a bit of fanfare around a legends last match
John Cena commented more this weekend on WWE's new Anti-Cena t-shirts.
"They have wanted too since 2008. I told them no. Finally I just said I dont care. Im fine with the way things are. Some like me. Some don't."
A fan asked Cena if WWE was disrespecting him by releasing the shirt. He replied:
"Agreed. But WTF. Ignore it no longer. Its out there so those that wanna be like that should be able to voice their opinion. Like I said doesn't change me one bit. Stay true..always have.. always will"
Another fan asked Cena when WWE was going to release Anti-The Rock t-shirts and he replied:
"I can tell u right now....that would never happen"
