IS RANDY ORTON'S CAREER OVER?
Although there is no further information about the recovery of Randy Orton and his serious back injury, in a recent appearance on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer stated that the “Apex Predator” almost had his career ended in 2022.
According to the journalist, when WWE made the decision to unify the tag team titles, putting Matt Riddle and Orton (until then RAW Tag Team Champions) to face The Usos (SmackDown Tag Team Champions), it was already something planned so that “Viper ” could be removed urgently. As it turns out, after the loss of the tag team titles, Orton was never seen again.
The original idea was never to unify the tag team titles, however, the WWE creative team preferred to do so, as they were unable to find another credible partner for Riddle. The word is that it was very difficult to make a duo as close and loved by the public as RK-Bro.
