<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Randy Orton Was Told to Retire</h2>



<p>Randy Orton is expected to make his return to WWE around Survivor Series in around three weeks time but it seems that he is going against doctors orders by returning to the ring. According to <a href="http://www.f4wonline.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">The Wrestling Observer,</a> Orton was told by his doctors to retire from competition due to his back injury, but refused. </p>



<p>The 43-year-old star is hoping that he will be able to continue wrestling and making money from it until he is 50 years old. Orton is considered a free agent and can return to either brand since he missed the most recent WWE Draft. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roman Reigns Is Not Scheduled for Survivor Series </h2>



<p>Roman Reigns only recently made his return to WWE and has already picked up a feud with LA Knight heading into Crown Jewel. There was a belief that he would stick around and work Survivor Series as well, but The Wrestling Observer is reporting that this isn&#8217;t the case. </p>



<p>Instead, it appears that Roman Reigns won&#8217;t be part of the show and the site noted that the next Premium Live Event that he is scheduled for is the Royal Rumble in 2024. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Logan Paul vs Kevin Owens Being Discussed Internally</h2>



<p>Logan Paul is set to take on Rey Mysterio in Saudi Arabia next month for the United States Championship, but it appears that his next feud could already be in the works. On the October 27 episode of SmackDown, Paul and Owens had a brief backstage exchange, which came a few hours after it was reported by<a href="https://twitter.com/BoozerRasslin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow"> BWE </a>that WWE was discussing a match between Paul and Owens. </p>



<p>It&#8217;s unclear when this match will happen, since there appear to be many different rumors surrounding Survivor Series and WWE&#8217;s potential plans for the show. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">WWE Wanted Fans to Believe That Brock Lesnar Retired at SummerSlam</h2>



<p>It has been several months since Brock Lesnar was last seen in a WWE ring, when he came up short against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam. It came as a surprise that Lesnar wasn&#8217;t booked for Crown Jewel, since he has appeared at every other show in Saudi Arabia since their contract with the company began. </p>



<p>The Wrestling Observer recently revealed that the company wanted fans to believe that Lesnar had retired at SummerSlam but he will be back. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“That was always the plan, you know when he left and there were people going, ‘was that his retirement?’ I was told [WWE] wanted it to seem like it, but he’s coming back.”</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tamina Snuka Is Still Under Contract Despite Lengthy Absence</h2>



<p>Ronda Rousey&#8217;s recent appearance outside of WWE despite many believing that she was still under contract has led to many fans questioning whether or not Tamina is still contracted to WWE, since she hasn&#8217;t appeared since Royal Rumble. </p>



<p>Sean Ross Sapp of<a href="https://www.patreon.com/fightful" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow"> Fightful </a>was able to weigh in on this as part of a recent Q&amp;A where he noted that she is still contracted to the company. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>“She is still under contract, even though she has not been used in quite a long time. I’ve heard she had been backstage here and there. She was backstage when [CM] Punk showed up there and that was April 24th, but she has not wrestled since. I think it was February 27th, and she was just used on a couple of episodes of Main Event. She was used in the Royal Rumble, and she hadn’t been around for months before that. Tamina has not been wrestling regularly since the beginning of December of last year, so we’re going on almost a full year. She’s had the Rumble and two main event matches that she lost since then.”</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roman Reigns Is Not Expected to Work Elimination Chamber </h2>



<p>WWE announced earlier in the year that Elimination Chamber in February 2024 would take place live from Perth, Australia. The event is expected to be heavily based around Rhea Ripley, and the company recently released the first poster that features Ripley, Bianca Belair, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins and LA Knight. </p>



<p>Many fans have noticed that Roman Reigns is missing from advertisements, which could hint that he will miss this event as well. </p>
