WWE NEWS: Report - WWE had to change Raw mid-show due to RawActive polling

WWE reportedly had to change their Raw line-up mid-show due to legit RawActive poll results.

According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE expected Randy Orton to win the poll to face C.M. Punk. However, Chris Jericho won the poll - with a majority of votes - which meant Orton and Jericho had to switch opponents.

Orton, who was originally scheduled to face Punk, went on to face Wade Barrett yet again. This also meant Jericho, was originally scheduled to face Barrett, had to face Punk in a match WWE laid out mid-show.

Punk vs. Jericho turned out to be the best match of the show, but it meant Jericho had to take a loss his second week back on television because Punk needs to look strong heading into a re-match against The Rock at the Elimination Chamber PPV.

The original plan reportedly called for Jericho to beat Barrett and for Punk to beat Orton, so it turned out that Jericho "lost" by winning the poll and Orton "won" by not winning the poll since he beat Barrett clean with the RKO.

If Taker can’t work the show, here are a few possibilities for CM Punk:

- singles match with Ryback

- The Rock vs. John Cena vs. Punk in a three way for the WWE title
