A new WWE rumor is raising questions just days before WrestleMania 42.
According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Randy Orton is currently “hurting” heading into his Undisputed WWE Championship match against Cody Rhodes. The report notes that the issue could potentially affect the planned outcome of Saturday’s Night One main event.
As of now, this remains unconfirmed. WWE has not commented publicly, and there’s been no on-screen indication that Orton is dealing with an injury.
Still, the timing is worth noting.
With the WrestleMania 42 card already set, any physical issue involving a main event talent creates uncertainty behind the scenes. WWE has historically worked around injuries this close to a show, often adjusting match layouts rather than making major changes.
Whether this affects the finish or simply how the match is structured remains to be seen.
For now, it’s a situation to monitor closely heading into Night One.
