Will Randy Orton Get Time Off?, Creative Team, Ashley Escort

At this point, it doesn't look like Randy Orton will be getting any time off with the exception of a tour of Mexico later this month. Orton is booked regularly for house shows through the month of June. Orton, who's wife Samantha is expecting their first child in July, recently asked management for some time off the road from house shows.

For the record, the WWE creative team found out that John Cena was going to be okay enough to return to the ring at the Royal Rumble in the middle of December of last year.

The Ashley Massaro escort scandal story is getting some press from the The Sun out of the U.K. They have an article summarizing the situation, which you can read at http://www.thesun.co.uk.
