Randy Orton faced one of the up-and-coming WWE stars Riddle on RAW on April 19th and suffered a shock defeat. It was a simple finish, but it said a lot about Riddle's potential position in WWE and his future.
Orton rarely loses throwaway matches on RAW, and he could be feuding with The Original Bro next based on the nature of the finish. However, it could be halted for now. Bryan Alvarez revealed that Randy Orton suffered a shoulder injury on RAW while wrestling Riddle:
“I don’t know the extent of what happened, but Randy Orton hurt his shoulder. He was fighting out of the corner and Riddle went to give him an exploder and Randy of course didn’t take an exploder. He blocked it and he pulled back and did this very dramatic punch and he punched him and then from that point forward he could no longer use his right arm. He was throwing forearms with his left arm, which looked horrible. They still did manage to do a top rope superplex… it was like that one day when he punched the mat and his shoulder went out,” said Bryan Alvarez.
We hope this isn't true because it would be a big blow to the WWE roster to lose Randy Orton in a time like this. While he isn't competing for the WWE Title, he always has a useful role to be in.
