Monday, Nov. 2

WWE finally released more information regarding the significance of Orton's shoulder injury, via a statement from WWE physician Dr. Steve Daquino, per WWE.com:

"

Randy has suffered from a dislocated shoulder. He’s had chronic problems with his shoulder, and a recent MRI that was done found he has a Bankart lesion in his shoulder, some stretched ligaments and a partially torn rotator cuff. At this point it’s a matter of when he dislocates the shoulder again, and not if. Surgery seems imminent, and recovery time for such a surgery would be four to six months.
