Randy Orton Opens Up On Recovery From Back Injury

WWE

Randy Orton has opened up on his recovery from the back injury.

At WWE Survivor Series 2023, Randy Orton made his return to the company for the first time in 18 months after suffering a serious back injury and getting double fusion surgery.

Orton teamed with Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn to defeat The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre in the Men’s War Games match on the show.

Speaking with Logan Paul on the IMPAULSIVE podcast, Randy Orton opened up on his recovery from the back injury and surgery. He said:

“I’m like the only guy that’s never left and come back, other than John Cena, but I’m going to be here for the rest, this is me.”

“I’m not moving on to Hollywood, I love what I do, I just had 18 months off recovering from a spinal fusion.”

“I was kind of faced with the fact that I might not be able to do this again, so it’s almost like I got a second lease on my career here.”

“I’m not going to take a day for granted, not a second in that ring for granted.”

“So now, even more so than the matches you [Logan] would have seen a year ago when you first started, I’m feeling even more in my element now.”
