Randy Orton discussed back issues with Matt Hardy.
Back issues have not been uncommon for many professional wrestlers, including the “Viper” Randy Orton. Orton is currently still out of action with a back injury, with there a possibility he may not return to the ring.
During a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt recalled a conversation he had with Randy Orton about back issues.
Yes, it has, it has (our bodies changed between ROH Ladder match in 2017 & Double or Nothing 2022 versus Young Bucks) and there’s some things… Once again, it’s very weird, as you get older, it’s just like you have to change things to keep your body in a certain condition and I’m constantly in a process of changing things. I actually had a lot of people that complimented the stuff at Double or Nothing and I’ve been doing a lot of balance training, as crazy as that sounds.
I’ve been doing balance training because just like, I had a long conversation with Randy Orton. He was talking about how messed up his body was just from doing the RKO over and over and over again and you know, I told him, ‘You can only imagine how my hips and lower back feel after all those leg drops over all the years’ but he was just talking about how bad his balance was, that he didn’t realize and that kind of got me thinking and I’ve done more balance training than anything else recently and I feel like it’s helped me on my movement and whatnot and hopefully my flexibility.

We will have to wait and see if Randy will still return to WWE television in the future, or if his time in the ring will come to an end due to his back issues.
