Randy Orton Says He Doesn’t Need Neck Surgery

Not too long ago it was reported by Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Randy Orton, who is currently out of action recovering from shoulder surgery, may need neck surgery as well. Orton took to Instagram to comment on the report.

Randy Orton says that he does not need neck surgery. But it’s worth noting that in the original report he’s referring to Meltzer only mentioned that Orton might possibly have neck surgery and didn’t report that it was happening for a fact.

In any case, Orton also mentions that he’s recovering ahead of schedule. He posted the following in the comments section on Instagram:

“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.”
