WWE.com is reporting that Randy Orton suffered a cervical strain and cervical neuropraxia at the WWE SmackDown taping on Tuesday night in Providence, Rhode Island.
Orton worked a long TV match with Alberto Del Rio and worked in a six-man tag-team match in the post show dark match. There was no injury angle done on the live show. No word on if the injury occurred during the TV taping or during the post-show dark match but it sounds like the dark match as they wouldn’t have sent him out there if they knew about the injury beforehand.
More as we get it.
