WWE has confirmed (via WWE.com) that Randy Orton will be sidelined for an “extended period of time” after dislocating his shoulder a few weeks ago.
It was implied on-air that Bray Wyatt was responsible for Orton’s injury, but there were reports that Orton actually did it at his home taking out the trash. It was said the injury was bad enough where it took three hours to pop it back into place.
WWE doctor Steve Daquino, issued the following comments to WWE.com:
“Randy has suffered from a dislocated shoulder. He’s had chronic problems with his shoulder, and a recent MRI that was done found he has a Bankart lesion in his shoulder, some stretched ligaments and a partially torn rotator cuff.
At this point it’s a matter of when he dislocates the shoulder again, and not if. Surgery seems imminent, and recovery time for such a surgery would be four to six months.”
