- Last week’s episode of WWE SmackDown (9/14) drew a 1.96 cable rating with 2.69 million viewers.

- As of last night’s RAW, WWE still has not decided who will join Michael Cole on commentary next week. JBL will be overseas mountain climbing, so he’s not an option.

- The referee who “screwed” CM Punk in the main event of last night’s RAW was Brad Maddox. Maddox is a a two-time FCW Tag Team Champion and a former FCW 15 Champion. He also worked as a referee at developmental.

- Randy Orton remains very vocal behind the scenes about wanting to work as a heel. WWE officials have been waiting for Sheamus to fully establish himself as the top babyface on SmackDown before switching Orton, but the feeling is that Orton will turn heel by the end of the year.

Yeah, Orton should go back to heel...he's much better as one.

Did anyone even miss Orton when he was gone? I've just had a tough time ever getting into his character regardless of his character.

Orton is one of those guys that fans will actually cheer more if he is a heel. He is just not believable as a "good guy". You can tell that he is not comfortable in that roll. Best bet would be to let him work as a tweener. He is one of only a handful of guys that could, successfully, pull off that type of gimmick.
