Before RAW last week, there were inquiries about what possibly happened and Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful stated that Orton suffered a deep bruise in his arm and shoulder area:

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightul Select, Randy Orton suffered a "deep bruise" in his arm and shoulder area during his match with Riddle on RAW. Sapp reports that initially, the injury didn't seem to be severe enough that it would cause Orton to miss any significant amount of time. However, he did note that he wasn't sure if the diagnosis had changed within the last few days.

Interestingly, Randy Orton went on to wrestle anyway, teaming up with Riddle to defeat Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin. Even if he was injured, it's not uncommon for WWE Superstars (or wrestlers, for that matter) to work through injuries - especially small ones.

Either way, we hope this isn't true because there's a chance that it could get worse. WWE either need to put Randy Orton in non-wrestling segments on RAW or protect him by making Riddle take the workload in their tag team matches.
