14 Hot Takes On The Week In Wrestling (Jan 13th)

10. This Is Why Snakes Don't Have Shoulders

This week we heard from laid-up superstar Randy Orton, who cleared up a few misunderstandings surrounding his medical status. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer indicated a few weeks ago that Orton, recovering from shoulder surgery, would also need neck surgery. Orton took to Instagram to refute these rumours, confirming that he'd had his neck cleared by doctors, and won't need to be cut again. He also advised that his shoulder is ahead of schedule, which some take to mean that he might not be out over the Wrestlemania period after all. If Orton does make it back in time, he won't have had an angle built up for him. His best bet might be a surprise run-in, or addition to a match already set in stone to make it a triple threat... or to forget about it entirely. Not everyone has the freaky Cena healing factor, Randall. Rest your stupid hypermobile shoulder some more and come back when you're genuinely ready. It's not like there isn't another Wrestlemania next year.
