Randy Orton dislocated his shoulder a few days before Over The Limit as he had been favouring his shoulder on recent house shows. His upper body was also a little smaller than usual at the PPV, which may indicate he had been unable to lift weights for a while before the show. Orton started holding his forearm after an early bump outside the ring in his match with Edge, then aggravated his shoulder while bumping the mat and setting up for the RKO. The referee then called an audible for a quick double count-out finish. Orton was mad backstage but the medical team were able to reset his shoulder back into the socket. He has a history of injuries to his hyper-mobile shoulder and each one only makes future problems likelier. WWE is presuming Orton will be healthy enough to compete at the Fatal 4 Way PPV on June 20, when he is scheduled to compete for the WWE Championship.
Ken Anderson commented on his Twitter about Orton’s injury, saying “I have one thing to say: Kharma is a MOTHERFUCKER!! And it couldn’t have happened. To a NICER GUY!!”. He is bitter about being released from WWE soon after dropping Orton badly after a back suplex, then getting slated for it in the ring and backstage. Apart from Orton, however, there had been many other complaints by other wrestlers to management about how it was dangerous to work with Anderson because of his sloppy performances.
