The Viper took to social media today to respond to the injury rumors and claimed that it was not the case. Orton also suggested that he was enjoying a summer vacation before returning to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship. You can check out his message below.

“Lmao just milking it guys, leave me alone I’m trying to enjoy my summer before I come back and take that #15,” he wrote.

Orton aligned with Pat McAfee on the road to WrestleMania 42 in a storyline that was rejected by the WWE Universe. The Apex Predator betrayed McAfee at The Show of Shows and planted the former NFL punter with an RKO out of nowhere.

Rhodes capitalized on the distraction and escaped with a pinfall victory. After the match, Orton punted the champion in the head before going on hiatus. Rhodes is scheduled to defend his title against Gunther at Clash in Italy on May 31.

Former WWE star believes Randy Orton should have won at WrestleMania 42

Wrestling veteran Maven recently suggested that Randy Orton should have defeated Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania.

Speaking on the INSIGHT podcast, the popular star stated that Orton was born to be a professional wrestler, and WrestleMania should have been a crowning moment for him.

“This is Randy’s ‘Mania, in my opinion. And Pat being in it is, like, listen, he’s a great addition. If Pat McAfee can help eyeballs come to WrestleMania, what’s the harm? But to me, this is all set up for just Randy to have his, well, and I don’t wanna say his ending, but just that, like, let him have the ball one more time. Because if there’s anybody, like, if there’s anybody that was born to be a wrestler, it was Randy Orton,” he said.

Only time will tell when the 46-year-old will be cleared to return to the ring on WWE television.
