If you’ve been wondering where Randy Orton has been since WWE’s Super ShowDown event, it turns out that the veteran Superstar has been sidelined with an injury.
Thankfully, however, it doesn’t appear to be serious.
It has been reported by Fightful that Orton has been dealing with a neck injury. The injury was evaluated last week after Orton supposedly aggravated his neck in a Live Event matchup on June 10th. He was competing against SmackDown’s Aleister Black.
Turns out that he already had some vacation time scheduled. Given that WWE had no immediate plans for Orton on TV, he was given an additional two weeks to fully heal and rest up.
Orton has dealt with neck injuries in the past, having missed time back in 2015 due to neck problems.
Extreme Rules
“The Apex Predator” last appeared on WWE programming competing against Triple H in Saudi Arabia during Super ShowDown. He would emerge from his lengthy match with a victory over “The Game.”
Orton would go on to compete in a series of WWE Live Events afterwards. This culminated in his match, and unfortunate injury, against Aleister Black.
Given their recent Live Event matches, it appears that Randy Orton could be returning to face Black. Could Orton be the one to answer his challenge at Extreme Rules?
