What happened to Randy Orton?
After WrestleMania 37, Randy began working with Matt Riddle as a tag team dubbed RK-Bro. The pair dominated the tag team division for nearly a year before losing to The Usos in a title unification match on the May 20, 2022, episode of SmackDown. A few days later, reports announced that Randy suffered a legitimate back injury.
The 14-time WWE champion hasn’t been in the ring since then, and it seems like it might be a long time before Randy is back wrestling. The Viper underwent back fusion surgery in late 2022, and, according to Randy’s father, WWE Hall of Famer Bob Orton, his doctors strongly advise against him returning to the WWE.
“He’s training, so we’ll see what happens; I don’t know,” Bob said via Ringside News. “If he feels like he’s ready to go back, I think he might, but then again, he’s pretty well taken care of. I don’t think he needs to. And I think the doctors have told him not to. But Randy will do what Randy wants to do.”
Although many are undoubtedly upset about Randy possibly having to retire, others were quick to point out that he’ll leave behind an incredible career and legacy in the WWE. His championships and accomplishments include:
- 14-time WWE champion (WWE and WHC)
- 1-time WWE Intercontinental champion
- 1-time WWE United States Championship
- 4-time WWE Tag Team champion (with Edge, Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper, and Matt Riddle)
- 2-time Royal Rumble winner (2009 and 2017)
- 1-time Money in the Bank winner (2013)
- 17th Triple Crown champion
- 10th Grand Slam champion
Randy has nothing to prove to anyone; he’s a living legend. We would love nothing more than to see him return to in-ring action, but if it’s not possible, we hope he’d be happy with the legacy he’s leaving behind.
