WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton was said to be upset by the crowd at the Royal Rumble during his match against John Cena. Orton was described as being "irate" backstage.

Look for Cody Rhodes and Goldust to split up at or after the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, leading to a match between the Rhodes Brothers at WrestleMania 30. When Goldust initially returned to the company a number of months ago, it was reported that his new deal ended after WrestleMania. It's now being reported that his deal has been extended to go until SummerSlam. After that, he is expected to be kept as an agent backstage.
