WWE Rumors: AJ Lee Quitting WWE, Randy Orton Return, Sting Debut

There is certainly plenty of juicy information to discuss with regard to WWE rumors in light of the events that transpired at Survivor Series on Sunday, so let's dive right in and take a look at the latest round of spoilers. As always, these are just rumors and speculation, so take them with a grain of salt.

Firstly, PWInsider.com reports that Randy Orton was backstage at Survivor Series at the Scottrade Center in his hometown of St. Louis, and he was originally booked to return during the main event; however, WWE made the call to send Sting out for his highly anticipated debut instead.

On that subject, rumors hold that Sting's debut was meant to both promote the WWE 2K15 video game, of which Sting is a major part, and to reinforce the fact that anything can happen during pay-per-views n the WWE Network, so fans should be sure to subscribe or renew their memberships for December. This is why Stone Cold Steve Austin's live podcast with Vince McMahon will not occur until December 1 after Monday Night Raw.

Speaking of Vince, apparently the reason the Survivor Series post-show, which was supposed to feature an interview with the boss, never aired is the pay-per-view ran long.

On another note, rumors of AJ Lee's departure from the company have been running rampant for months, and her incredibly quick loss of the Divas Championship to Nikki Bella at Survivor Series only fueled that speculation. But it appears that the rumors were just that, and AJ is not planning on leaving anytime soon.
