WRESTLING RUMORS: Top WWE Star Possibly Out Of Action Due To Back Injury

That could be a long one. There are a lot of wrestlers on the WWE roster today but only a handful of them are legends in their own time. Those wrestlers are among the most important and popular stars the company has and it means a lot to have them around. That is not always the case though and now one of the biggest stars in WWE today may be missing some time.

Last week on SmackDown, the Bloodline attacked RKBro and left both of them laying. This week on SmackDown, Riddle announced that Randy Orton will be out of action due to both the attack and problems with his back. Orton did not appear on the show and according to Wrestlingnews.co, this may be WWE’s way to keep him off of television while he takes some time off for his back to heal. There is no word on when Orton may return to television.

Opinion: Orton missing time is not a bit surprise as he already works a reduced schedule. Now he can take a break and get things healed up again, likely setting up a big return for a showdown with Roman Reigns. That is a match that could headline a major show and Orton being healthy is something that would let the match actually work. Orton isn’t likely to be around that much longer so giving him this kind of time extends him a lot further than anything else will.

What do you think of Orton’s current run? What should he do when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
