Update On Randy Orton’s Return Status; Orton Reveals When His Shoulder Injury Occurred (Video)

As noted, injured WWE Superstar Randy Orton was seen at the WWE Hall of Fame red carpet special last weekend and said he’s a few months away from a WWE return. 

Orton spoke with AfterBuzzTV at the WWE HOF event, and spoke about when his shoulder injury occurred, saying:

“I had a match, October 15th in Chicago. And, I was in the ring with a couple of different guys, and it’s unclear to me what happened, but my shoulder got stretched back, and the capsule was stretched and I had a repair 12 years ago that was destroyed. So, I had a little pain, got an MRI and basically I was told that they had to fix my shoulder up again. I had a different guy do it and had a stabilization surgery done that they do on rugby players who go back to 100% full-time playing rugby, and those guys, they’re some tough customers. So, I got really fortunate with the doctor and I think everything’s going to be just fine, a couple more months.”  

Orton also elaborated on his return time, saying he’s closer to a return in “a couple months, maybe 3-4”. Orton then joked and said it could have been more like two weeks or even at Wrestlemania 32, where he could drop a RKO out of nowhere. He added that he’s not quite ready to get back on the road with WWE, but he still feels like he has many years left. 

Orton also talks about being a newlywed, if he sees himself as a Hall of Fame inductee, Daniel Bryan’s Hall of Fame likelihood, and more. You can watch Orton’s interview with AfterBuzz in the player below:
