Last night at a WWE Live Event in Hershey, Penn., Randy Orton suffered an apparent injury that cut his match short and sent The Viper for a medical evaluation. Tonight, the 13-time World Champion came down the ramp on crutches and had to be helped into the ring. It was surely a dire sign before Orton was scheduled to address the injury and “his future” — a future, we soon learned, that was far clearer than he was letting on.

While Orton couldn’t quite get out the words to reveal the results of his MRI, he did say that he was set to be out “for a very long time,” and there was even a chance he wouldn’t make it back to the ring at all. All he would commit to is making sure “somebody gets RKO’d at WrestleMania,” and right on cue, AJ Styles showed up to poke the bear. Seemingly cleared to provoke Orton at will at least until WrestleMania, The Phenomenal One made good on his opportunity, pestering his rival with schoolyard taunts and kicking his crutch out from under him, all with the promise to eventually put Orton in the Calf Crusher at WrestleMania and retire him.

Being that he was a “patient man,” Styles was more than willing to wait until WrestleMania for any further shenanigans, but as Orton admitted, he wasn’t. The Viper lashed out with an RKO, quickly revealing that his knee was just fine, and AJ Styles has plenty more to look forward to before WrestleMania even gets close.
