Update: What Happened to Randy Orton?

According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE Superstar Randy Orton injured his shoulder while taking out the garbage at his home.

Orton apparently took the garbage to his curb and dislocated his shoulder, and it was bad enough where it took three hours to pop it back into place. We previously reported Orton was scheduled to have a MRI to see the extent of the damage; it was previously said Orton was already working with a hurt shoulder, and has a history of shoulder problems. This incident is apparently what caused him to be pulled from several events, including WWE’s tour of Mexico and the WWE Hell In a Cell pay-per-view.

Orton was scheduled to team with Dean Ambrose against The Wyatt Family’s Luke Harper and Braun Strowman on the kickoff show, but that match has been pulled and replaced with Dolph Ziggler, Cesaro and Neville versus King Barrett, Rusev and Sheamus.

Update: There had been speculation that Orton might be in need of neck surgery in addition to his injured shoulder, however, Orton has publicly said he will not need neck surgery and is only rehabbing his shoulder injury at this time.
