Randy Orton charred The Fiend at WWE TLC and was about to burn Alexa Bliss on RAW last week as well. However, The Viper restrained himself from injuring Alexa Bliss. Unfortunately for the former WWE Champion, that did not work in his favor as Bliss went on to throw a fireball at Orton on RAW this week.

WWE.com provided an update on Randy Orton saying that he has suffered a few minor burns as a result of Bliss' actions.

WWE Digital has learned that Randy Orton suffered minor burns to the face following the fireball attack by Alexa Bliss on Raw.

Randy Orton isn't one to sit back and there are surely going to be repercussions faced by Alexa Bliss in the coming weeks on RAW.


#1 'Significantly lower' contracts being offered to WWE Superstars

As per Fightful Select, many members of the WWE roster have been offered low contract offers by the company. The report says that these contracts are considerably lower than the norm for WWE Superstars.

Some of the Superstars who have received these offers are the members of RETRIBUTION with the exception of Mustafa Ali.

Several sources with knowledge of the deals say that in the fall of 2020 WWE offered each member of the stable — not including Ali — three year contracts worth $250,000 per year.

The report also stated that many recent NXT call-ups have not been given a bumped contract for the main roster and are continuing on their NXT pay grade.
