UPDATE x4: At this time, the severity of Randy Orton's injuries are not know. There is an inaccurate report going around, citing Pwinsider.com that says that Orton will miss WrestleMania. That is not confirmed at this time, was not reported by Pwinsider.com and has not been announced by WWE. More on the story as it develops.
UPDATE x3: According to The Wrestling Observer, the Randy Orton injury was a pre-existing injury. Orton has been protected in recent outings, since about December 19th, so that he would not have to do too much physically on TV. At this point, the plan looks to be to move one of the Raw matches to the Smackdown tour to help fortify the lineups starting tonight.
UPDATED x2: WWE.com posted the following today...
Due to an injury he sustained at SmackDown in Indianapolis, Randy Orton will be replaced by Sheamus in scheduled Street Fights against Wade Barrett at WWE live events this week.
UPDATED: PWInsider is reporting that the injury that happened to Randy Orton is legit. Sources have confirmed the injury is back related and that while the severity is unknown, it has something to do with at least one of the discs in his back.
ORIGINAL: WWE has acknowledged via Twitter the angle that ended Smackdown. The company has tweeted that following:
BREAKING: @RandyOrton injured at #Smackdown in Indianapolis tonight.
At the taping Wade Barrett threw Orton down a flight of stairs during their Falls Count Anywhere match with the camera showing Orton in a mangled state.
