WWE WHC: Rollins WWE US: Cena WWE IC: Bryan Divas: Nikki Bella Tag: Kidd & Cesaro Cesaro could still potentially be cleared in time to return, as could Nikki if her disc issue is resolved without surgery.

A wrestling news group on FB said "It looks like Paige is hurt." Has any new news come out on her since her mother said she 'just needs some rest'?

Orton just confirmed on his Instagram page he had surgery for shoulder issue in early December, does not need neck surgery.

Orton coming back sooner than later is kind of a relief. Not a huge fan, but I like him well enough and we need some kids, as Tazz would say.

Glad he doesn't need neck surgery, but dammit if it means Vince is gonna try to rush him back for Mania.

He's basically only appeared once or twice since Survivor Series, so he might be easing into a part-time role.

If the 4-6 month recovery window from early December holds true, Orton will be cutting it VERY FINE in terms of WrestleMania. Cesaro's about the same chance, as well.

Orton update. He says he doesn't need neck surgery. Any proof it is his since it is not verified like other WWE accounts?

So far as I know, Instagram doesn't do account verifications like other social media services, but this is the account Orton's verified Twitter shares. Edit: nvm, Instagram started verified badges a little over a year ago.

The solution is one that WWE will never even consider because it will kill their ratings. Ironically, it would fix the 50/50 booking issue too... Old school, job matches on TV. The ratings can't get much worse at this point. Hell, I think they'd bring some fans back because fans would get to see their favorites win and win decisively.

There's plenty of unused and under-utilized guys in the company that you could do this without hurting too much credibility. Honestly, I think you could probably bring some of the NXT newcomers to the main roster for a squash match or two before they start their NXT run proper and not only utilize them as "green" for jobbing, but set up a future storyline when they advance to the main roster.

They could make a young lion system of sorts for guys trained by NXT, I mean the guys trained from scratch.

Alex Riley worked the NXT house show in Tampa against Baron Corbin last night, so he's officially off the list.

Man, this injury list isn't even counting dudes who returned last year like Jimmy Uso, Rusev, Stardust and even Lana. It's been wild. How about Sami Zayn, who just made it back the last week or so of 2015?
