Randy Orton took to Instagram to refute reports that he needs neck surgery. The WON reported several weeks ago that Orton would likely need neck surgery in addition to the shoulder injury he is currently recovering from. Ric Flair also said Orton would need the surgery in a recent episode of the WOOOOO! Nation Podcast.
Orton posted the update in a comment on his latest Instagram post, saying:
” see many of you think I need neck surgery. I heard weeks ago that Meltzer stated it as a fact. I don’t keep up with gossip, so I didn’t think anything of it. As far as my shoulder, I was cut on 12/8. Things are ahead of schedule and I’m pumped to get back to work. As far as my neck, and I’m only debunking this ‘fact’ for the sincerely concerned fans, I DONT need neck surgery. Remember, unless you hear about it on WWE.com, you really should take everything you read online concerning pro wrestling with a grain of salt.”
