WWE has given an injury update on Randy Orton and it’s not good.

During the May 27th episode of WWE SmackDown, the commentary team announced that Orton is meeting with neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons due to a lingering back issue.

Here’s WWE’s formal announcement:

Embedded Tweet

"INJURY UPDATE
Randy Orton is currently undergoing consultations with neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons to determine the extent of his injury and to recommended course of treatment.”

There has been no word on whether or not this back injury is legit or part of a storyline.

On the May 23 episode of WWE Raw, Riddle opened the show and was quite emotional discussing Orton’s status. He claimed there’s a real possibility that RK-Bro is done.

Riddle ended up enlisting the help of Shinsuke Nakamura to attack The Usos in the opening segment of WWE SmackDown. During his backstage interview, Riddle said he had Orton’s blessing to team with Nakamura.

Since he does take time away from WWE now and then, I hope this is the case and he is just taking time off. This could also be a way to break up the tag team RK-Bro.

At least Roman can’t bury him

At least Roman can’t bury him

I would still like to see Orton feud with him
