Randy Orton shoots down reports of back injury

In a post on X, Randy Orton shot down recent reports that he has been off WWE television due to a back injury.

“Lmao just milking it guys,” Orton wrote. “Leave me alone I’m trying to enjoy my summer before I come back and take that #15.”

Orton was reacting to the news, specifically by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, who said during the weekend that Orton was still suffering from a back injury that kept him out of action for over a year a few years ago.

The Viper has not been seen on WWE television since his WrestleMania 42 Saturday main event loss against Cody Rhodes.
