Randy Orton hilariously claims he is out injured until June 2020

Randy Orton has hilariously claimed that he will be out of action until June 2020 because of a mat burn he suffered last night on Monday Night RAW. The Viper had come out to help Rey Mysterio when he 'suffered the injury'.

The tweet is a cryptic one as he has mentioned June 19th specifically. The date, in numerical form, reads 6/19 – and it is a smart way of referencing Mysterio's finisher, 619.

Orton has been aiding Mysterio for the past few weeks. He even helped the biggest little man win the United States Championship from AJ Styles last week on RAW, despite being beaten by Mysterio for the chance to win the title.

He heaped praise on the US champion on Twitter as well, tweeting the following: “At #charlotte airport on 2 hours of sleep and all I can think about is how @reymysterio is amazing. I should be thinking about @KimKlro but I can’t #619”.

Orton's face turn has come as a surprise to the WWE Universe. It will only be a matter of time before he turns heel again and this could just be a stepping stone to the ultimate betrayal of Mysterio. Until then, though, it looks like Orton will have the US Champion's back against The OC.
