WWE Breaking News: Randy Orton Suspended for 60 Days

In a surprising turn of events, WWE.com has posted the bombshell that Randy Orton has been suspended by the company for 60 days.

The reason cited is Orton's second violation of the WWE's wellness policy, which has been enacted in the last six years in an attempt to clean up the wrestling landscape.

This news comes right after the announcement of Chris Jericho's suspension, who was sent home not for a banned substance, but for disrespecting the Brazilian flag.

It will be intriguing to see who, if anyone, will replace Orton's spot in the next two months. Perhaps the WWE—which has been lacking in star power of late—will call up Undertaker or another dependable veteran sooner than later.

Another solution would be to give a deserving performer a strong push to fill the babyface gap to be left by "The Viper." One candidate would be Zack Ryder, who has been on the receiving end of blow after blow to his character since the beginning of 2012.

On the other hand, the WWE may decide to repackage a struggling heel like Dolph Ziggler by making him a fan favorite headliner.

Nonetheless, it will be interesting to see how, or if, the WWE will adapt to Orton's absence in the foreseeable future.

With the No Way Out pay-per-view around the corner, we'll have an idea in the next few weeks.
