Randy Orton did suffer a concussion while working in Madrid, Spain on Sunday. The concussion story they ran on RAW was a legit reason as to why he could not perform.
WWE is still pushing that Orton will wrestle Sunday at the Capitol Punishment PPV, and while that would have been a given back in the day, wrestling seven days after a concussion is more questionable in 2011.
Orton was asked via Twitter why he didn’t wrestle on RAW. He replied: “because I was knocked out in Spain. U can’t wrestle, or should i say, perform, the day after a concussion.”
