Can already scratch off one name for Smackdown's non-tag and non-Women's Survivor Series team.
Orton is taking some time off next month and currently is set to miss Survivor Series as a result. Its only for 2 weeks but could end up needing another break because he's also in the process of moving into a new home.

The Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer is reporting that Randy Orton will be taking some time off in November, including the PPV. Meltzer reports that Orton's wife is expected to give birth to a baby girl on Nov 22nd, and that The Viper has been granted the week off beforehand. He is not scheduled to return until Nov 29th's SmackDown Live.
This year's Survivor Series features three traditional Raw vs. SmackDown elimination matches. Not only will SmackDown be shorthanded on that front, but it looks like Orton's ongoing storyline with Bray Wyatt will also need to wait. As it stands, Orton will miss two full weeks of television.
