Complete Randy Orton Story from New Observer (Not SuperLuchas)
I believe it won’t be on the show that airs on 6/8, and was told it may never air, but internally they are saying losing Orton for a while isn’t going to be that big a problem and it’s the first time people are openly categorizing Punk as No. 2 as opposed to Punk and Orton being on the same level right behind Cena. In addition, the feeling is the face side on Smackdown will be fine with Sheamus, Christian and the returning Mysterio as well as Sin Cara, and if there’s a problem, they know they can turn Daniel Bryan whenever they want.
Plus, with the company’s depth issue being what it is, and fear that it will get worse before it gets better, giving up on the No. 3 guy in the company who is only 32 and can work on top as a face or a heel for years to come makes no sense. It makes even less sense with so many guys who are at the top level (C.M. Punk, Alberto Del Rio) openly saying that aren’t going to be around that many more years. Add to that, John Cena has been having a lot of nagging injuries, Lesnar is unlikely to be around for the long haul, Rey Mysterio is likely having a few years left and Big Show, Mark Henry and Kane are all past 40. The only talent likely to have a ton of longevity from now, besides Cena, who will always be around, would be Daniel Bryan and perhaps Sheamus, and Sheamus is already 34. Bryan is probably going to wind up having a long run as a star, but is still the antithesis of what Vince McMahon has educated the people for the last generation of what is a headliner.
In addition, Orton, while not being in main events because of the company’s big push to make Sheamus as world champion into a legitimate top-tier star, was still the most popular wrestler on the Smackdown brand. Right now, with Orton out, the Smackdown house shows are headlined by Sheamus vs. Del Rio, Christian vs. Cody Rhodes and Kane vs. Khali (in the Orton spot). Rey Mysterio is scheduled to return at the end of the month, with him being available to start on the 6/25 Raw. With the strict Raw/Smackdown delineation a thing of the past, one would expect some people on the Raw side to be sent to the Smackdown side for touring, and in particular, Brodus Clay has been made for now a full-time Smackdown performer to add babyface depth.
Until this past year, when the company has made the effort to brand Punk and Sheamus as champions, there was a string dating back years where almost every PPV show had either Orton or Cena in a title match.

According to PWInsider,
Belttalk.com, a message board featuring discussion on the creation and fandom of championship belts within pro wrestling, featured a photo of the new WWE championship belt.
PWInsider.com sent the photo to several WWE sources who noted that while there were some changes being made, it is indeed the new belt design.
You can see the photo here.
When CM Punk revealed (at a Q&A session at the Wizard World convention on June 2nd) that WWE had created a new design, I wrote an article arguing what the new Title should and shouldn't look like.
Ultimately, what I dislike about the current spinner belt is that it is full of tacky diamonds and says "Champ" instead of "Champion."
Judging from the picture of the supposed new Title belt design, the belt still has some tacky diamonds. However, the new Title at least says "Champion" instead of "Champ." For that reason alone, the new Title is an improvement in my eyes.
Overall, here are my likes and dislikes regarding the supposed new Title belt:
Likes:
1) It says "Champion" instead of "Champ." That makes it more dignified.
2) It has a simpler design than the spinner belt. That also makes it more dignified.
Dislikes:
1) It's only one color: gold. Isn't one completely gold belt (World Heavyweight Championship) enough?
2) It still has diamonds.
3) The WWE logo is front and center on the belt. Whatever happened to Eagles or a globe of the Earth?
4) The texture looks way too smooth.
5) It looks like a heavy shield.
Ultimately, the new belt seems to be an improvement considering it's simpler and says "Champion" instead of "Champ." However, I can't say I like it.
What do you think?

Isn't ADR's bro w/ wwe

The WWE HOF is a wrestling Hall Of Fame, u dont have to be vince's creation to be in it, its just that vince hates the word wrestling. <
