1. Randy Orton might miss WrestleMania 32
As we noted before, 12 time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton injured his shoulder before Hell in a Cell PPV. WWE acknowledged Orton’s injury and noted that he will be out of action for 4-6 months. Below is what WWE posted:
“Three weeks ago, it was reported that Randy Orton did not appear on Monday Night Raw at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. Although it is still unclear as to whether Bray Wyatt was directly responsible for The Viper’s absence that night, as initial speculation indicated, WWE.com can now confirm that Orton’s injuries are significant, and will keep him from stepping into a WWE ring for an extended period of time.
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,” WWE physician Dr. Steve Daquino told WWE.com. “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.”
If Orton returns in 4 months, then he would be able to work WrestleMania 32. But if it takes 6 months to recover, then there is a possibility that Orton might miss WrestleMania 32 as 6 months from now is April 2016 and WrestleMania 32 is on April 3, 2016.
Orton made his WrestleMania debut in 2004 at WrestleMania 20 and hasn’t missed any WrestleMania event since then.
