5 weirdest ways a WWE Superstar has been injured

#3. Randy Orton injures his shoulder when taking out the trash

Randy Orton is no stranger to weird injuries in his career. But this one takes the cake simply due to how long it kept him on the sidelines. In October 2015, Randy Orton was in a bit of creative limbo. Sure, he was a regularly featured star on TV because he's Randy Orton, but there wasn't much going on for him other than a never-ending feud with Sheamus.

One day, Orton decided to take out the trash at home. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that while doing so, he felt a pop in his shoulder. Usually, a person can just pop it back into place, but it took Orton 3 painful hours to do that. He has a history of dislocated shoulders and this incident was one of the worst, as MRIs showed that he required surgery.

He would be out of action for nearly 10 months after this freak injury.
