PWInsider.com is reporting that the match between Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton will not be happening tonight at the WWE Backlash PPV. The report says that Orton is still not cleared by WWE doctors to compete after the injuries he sustained at Summerslam from Brock Lesnar.

It was expected by the WWE that he would be cleared and ready to go for Backlash when they made the match a couple of weeks ago. Orton was busted wide open at the hands of Lesnar and needed 10 staples to close the cut on his head.
Note: the WWE is still promoting the match on their social media as taking place so we might be seeing an injury angle or Orton getting taken out prior to the event:

Not a good start to Smackdowns first brand exclusive PPV.
