WWE.com promoted earlier today that Roddy Piper would be facing Randy Orton this week on Friday Night SmackDown with Bob Orton in Randy's corner. Mick Foley was also plugged on the website as being in Piper's corner. However, that was pulled and it now states Piper will be alone.

According to PWInsider.com, both Piper and Foley are backstage at the SmackDown tapings today in Austin, Texas. We do know that Foley was scheduled to leave RAW last night in Dallas for a tour of Australia with many former WWE, WCW and current TNA stars.

One report stated Foley pulled out of the tour because the promotion didn't meet his contractual requirements. Despite the conflicting reports at the moment, we will have a full report up from the SmackDown tapings later tonight. If you attend the show, click here.
