Ric Flair took to his “Wooo! Nation” podcast to update fans on Randy Orton’s status heading into WrestleMania 32.
Flair noted that Orton would NOT be ready for the event because he will still be out from the shoulder surgery that he had on December 8, 2015. The surgery was apparently much more complicated than people within WWE initially thought, which pushed his timetable back significantly.
Flair has been close to this situation as he was the one who first broke the news back in late 2015
Word coming out of WWE is that they expect Orton back in action right around May.
