WWE Offers Medical Update On Two Banged Up Stars

They’re a bit banged up. WWE has a lot of television time available to them and it can be difficult to find ways to fill in all of that time. The company has several wrestlers available to help, but sometimes they need to make a few changes for the sake of a little freshening up. That seems to be the case again, as we might not be seeing a pair of stars, at least for a little bit.

The main event of this week’s SmackDown saw the Usos defeat RKBro to unify the SmackDown and Raw Tag Team Titles. Following the match, the Bloodline attacked RKBro and laid both of them out, including putting Riddle through the announcers’ table. After the show, WWE released a medical update on Riddle and Randy Orton. Riddle has suffered a bruised hip and lower back while Orton will be undergoing a medical evaluation. There is no word on when the two will be back in the ring.

Opinion: That was a heck of a beatdown and it makes sense that the two of them are likely going to be off television for a little while. It would have been a bit much to assume that they could bounce right back so this is about as logical of a move as you could get. I’m not sure what is next for Orton and Riddle but at least they had a good reason to be put on the shelf for the time being.

What did you think about the segment? What is next for RKBro? Let us know in the comments below.
