WWE issued a statement noting WWE Champion Randy Orton has been fined by the company.

WWE noted that Orton was fined an undisclosed amount of money for putting his hands on Adam Pearce last week on Raw. Orton was enraged with Pearce last week when he was told that he would have to put his title on the line on tonight's Raw.

Orton will defend the title tonight in the main event against Drew McIntyre with the winner going up against Roman Reigns on Sunday in a champion vs. champion match.
