10 Most Devastating WWE Superstar Injuries Of 2015
3. Randy Orton
Randy Orton has been suffering from hypermobile shoulders for many years now. It's been a common problem for him during his wrestling career, and was the catalyst for one of his first major injuries. While he has tried to stay safe in the ring over the years, that didnt prevent his condition from rearing its ugly head in other ways. A few weeks ago, Randy Orton dislocated his shoulder so badly that it took three hours to pop it back into place, the pain of which mustve been understandably excruciating. Since the dislocation (which happened as he was taking out the trash, opening the door for countless jokes about WWE), he has been reported to be out of action for four to six months. There's a very real chance Orton may end up missing WrestleMania, which will have a devastating effect on the show and WWE in general. Despite being booked somewhat poorly in 2015, Orton is still an incredibly popular wrestler. He has the look of a pro wrestler, tremendous skill, and one of the most enjoyable finishers in WWE. With him absent, WWE will have fewer established stars needed to steer WWE away from the uncertain waters ahead, and it will leave the card for the biggest wrestling show of the year even more uncertain.
