In an update on John Laurianitis’ WWE status, the former WWE RAW General Manager who underwent rotator cuff surgery back in September is backstage at tonight’s WWE RAW in Greensboro, North Carolina and surprised many talents with his appearance when he arrived at the company’s hotel last night, as his future had become a hot topic amongst employees, as he had yet to return to his behind the scenes duties and no longer held an office at the company’s headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut.

It is unknown as to what Laurinaitis’ role is going forward and whether he will return in an on-air role for the company.
