Orton Injured?
 

From PWInsider:

Randy Orton suffered an injury at tonight's Smackdown taping, where he faced (SMACKDOWN SPOILER REMOVED). WWE has already disclosed the injury via their Twitter account but did not disclose the nature of the injury.

PWInsider.com has confirmed Orton's injury was back related. We have not confirmed the severity but know it was something to do with at least one of the discs in his back.

From WWE.com:

Due to an injury he sustained at SmackDown in Indianapolis, Randy Orton will be replaced by Sheamus in scheduled Street Fights against Wade Barrett at WWE live events this week.

Check back with WWE.com for more updates on Orton’s condition.

read the smackdown spoiler thread xero

Why would he do that? Maybe he doesn't want the rest of the show spoiled owenbrown!!!!

Well???????????????

YAY

Shame. Been his best year for feuds and probably in ring work too. Also a shame that one of the big names might be out for the run up to Wrestlemania, as well as the event itself.

I feel for Orton, and not trying to be a dick but this is now the time a "new gen" guy could step up and be big. Unless they just push Sheamus to the #1 face.

Or move someone like Rey Mysterio from Raw and ruin everyone's hopes for a new guy stepping up.

Smackdown has a face champion, The Big Show in the picture and Sheamus is up there too. Orton hasn't been "necessary" in the big picture for a while. The show will miss his matches and star power but as for card positioning, the main event has been fine without him since Hell in a Cell. They should be fine

WWE is fucked if Orton is out for 4-6 weeks.

They'll manage.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll find a way to survive.

Maybe now WWE will really move CM Punk to Smackdown.

<font color=goldenrod>Sounds like Orton could miss up to 6 months with this injury. Damn.</font>

Christian Face Turn to fill the void. Just have him SNAP and turn face.

Sheamus.

Would he still become a submission machine?

<font color=goldenrod>Sheamus is definitely winning the Rumble. I'd expect him to face Barrett (who wins the title at Elimination Chamber) at Mania. Basically just Orton's storyline with Sheamus replacing Orton.</font>

I really wanna see Sheamus get a big time win at WrestleMania as a face. Title match or not.

Yeah, but as a face, all of his holds would look weak as shit, but be presented as SUPER EFFECTIVE.

The WWE has come to terms with the Release of (Smackdown Spoiler Removed). We wish (Smackdown Spoiler Removed) the best in all it's future endeavors.

:shifty:

Really From PWInsider:

The ending to Smackdown for this Friday was dictated by Randy Orton's back issues. The injury was something Orton had been dealing with in recent weeks, so his match with Wade Barrett was company's way of writing the injury into the storylines.

While we do not have any update on the severity of the injury at this time, I want to note that an inaccurate report is floating around citing PWInsider.com as reporting Orton would miss Wrestlemania due to a slipped disc. Nothing of the sort was written or stated on either the free or Elite versions of PWInsider.com. Whoever published that report is stating an absolute lie, so remember that when you decide what outlets are legitimate and worth your time.

there goes wade barrets push :/

You mean there goes (SMACKDOWN SPOILER REMOVED)'s push.

Right, because nobody has been pushed lately on the subject of having put out a top guy.

Well, almost no one.

I'm hearing reports of this being a cover for a failed wellness test? Confirm or deny

It's now time for the Dibiase Posse to shine!

Fear not WWE fans, who needs orton when there is mr rassle himself: the charismatic Daniel Bryan. He can carry the WWE to the highest ratings in years.

This rumor happens every time someone get injured.

Randy Orton's return will consist of actual live vipers being dropped from the ceiling into the ring for a few weeks during random matches.

lol

If it was a cover for a wellness violation, he wouldn't be out for 6 months.

More like he saved up all his suspension days as a half year vacation. He probably saved his money so he'll be alright till then.

"Now, if you don't get suspended for a year, you get a month's vacation."

I swear to god if fucking vipers don't drop from the fucking ceiling for his return I'm gonna fucking snap, go to wrestling school, and become a bad ass submission machine, get hired from WWE, and make it fucking happen myself.






That or get pissed off and say fuck this.

As noted earlier, Randy Orton has suffered an injury.

If they were smart, they'd spin this into a mystery angle, with a dragon eventually being revealed as the culprit.

And half the people here would be screaming "OMG Sting is coming!!!!" (because everything is a sign that Sting will be in WWE Soon)

Or any wrestler you can remotely relate to snakes... or even the number of snakes falling

He has already fallen...
