Randy Orton set for extended break following defeat at Crown Jewel

Randy Orton will not appear on WWE television until early next year after suffering a punt from Cody Rhodes at Crown Jewel. Reports indicate that Orton will miss upcoming events, including Survivor Series and Wrestlepalooza. He is expected to return after the holidays as WWE management has agreed to his time off. This year has seen mixed outcomes for Orton, particularly his lengthy feud with Rhodes which included controversial moments. His absence from major upcoming events has disappointed fans in Australia, where Wrestlepalooza will take place next month.
