Randy Orton had to put his WWE career on a halt after taking brutal bumps in his back from The Usos in May 2022.

Things went exactly that way with Orton issuing a chilling threat to the faction on the blue brand show tonight after Nick Aldis handed him the opportunity to fire back. That said, he’s not alone in his aim to bury The Bloodline now.
