Randy Orton Denies Needing Neck Surgery, Says His Shoulder Is Recovering

Randy Orton posted a health update on Instagram last night, addressing reports by Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that he needs neck surgery.

Orton underwent shoulder surgery on 12/8 and says he’s recovering ahead of schedule.

He wrote:

“I 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.”
