It appears that Randy Orton possibly suffered an injury while working a match at a WWE house show this weekend.
WWE held a live event on Sunday night in Hershey, PA at the Giant Center that saw the former WWE Champion face AJ Styles in a singles match.
The match was stopped after he landed awkwardly after trying to hit the RKO. The potential injury was so severe that the contest was ended and doctors immediately ran down to the ring once the referee threw up the dreaded X-sign to notify the medical team that Orton needed help.
Randy Orton Possibly Injured
As a result, the contest was stopped and Orton was helped back to the backstage arena. Fans in attendance noted that it appeared that Orton suffered a knee injury. As of this writing, there’s no confirmation on the injury. It’s likely to be confirmed on Monday as to what type of injury he suffered.
Obviously, with WrestleMania season right around the corner, this isn’t a good time to get injured.
Orton, who has been a top WWE star for over a decade now, would’ve been a key part in programs leading into the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event next month and WrestleMania 36 come this April.
Over the past few weeks, Orton has been featured in a program with Styles on WWE television.
In fact, WWE had originally booked Styles vs. Orton in a singles match at the WWE TLC pay-per-view event in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Target Center on the WWE Network earlier this month.
However, WWE officials felt it was the right decision to hold off the contest until the next night on Monday Night RAW on the USA Network as a way to help boost television ratings.
