Either its another WWE SummerSlam ploy or storyline for Survivor Series

He said on Sky Sports that he was medically cleared.

I'm not too sure whether or not this is a work but if it isn't, that sucks that Orton won't be returning for another three months. I hope he recovers soon, because RAW needs another top heel right now.

On the positive side of things, this could mean Jericho might have a chance of taking the World Title off Punk. Either that, or JBL could win the title at SummerSlam, which I really don't want to see.

I doubt it's a work, I remember reading Orton does love riding Motorcycles, if this was a work like Cena's, why wouldn't they have put his return at 7-8 months when he first got injured, why wait til now to do it? I highly doubt it's a work, and he's not really a dumbass for riding the bike, perhaps he needed to relive stress and the collar bone injury was probably healed by then.

Im thinking its a work, to mess with the IWC. Somebody is taking a page from Russo's book IMO.

I laughed hard at this. Anyone who wants to believe you, can, but this is just dumb.

And for all those saying he was cleared. This probably happened AFTER he was cleared.

Like they did with John Cena?

Thing is, even if he does recover quick and return early, ^^ you would think you were right.

It would have probably fooled me better if they made a promo of his return, stating one month later or something, then shows up early. But I just can't see this one as a work. Randy, you fucking spanner.

FrankGrimes · 08-11-2008, 04:37 PM

his collar bone would have been fully healed by now anyway. Him injuring it again after it had healed would be like lightning striking a person twice. Quite unlikely. If he had a motorbike accident, how come he didnt injure any other part of his body? How come he hurt the same place that he had just recovered from.

Dont be surprised to see him at summerslam or the RAW after.

**miked860** · 08-11-2008, 04:39 PM

i guarantee it's just a work, when you get in a motorcycle accident you wouldn't just reinjure a collarbone, you're also gonna get pretty fucked up

No, the initial diagnosis was for Cena to be out for 7-8 months. When Cena was unexpectedly cleared way ahead of schedual, WWE simply kept it secret.

The same thing might happen in this case, it says 3 months, but he might be back in 2.

For all those claiming it's fake, consider this:

1.) Many casual fans don't read WWE.com.

2.) What does WWE have to gain from this? A surprise return at SS would have been huge whether or not they ran this angle. (Assuming this is fake)

3.) The WWE running a fake angle just to swerve the IWC is completely absurd. They've never cared for us, and they never will.
