WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has gone through a lot of injuries throughout his career. Along with many other injuries, Angle had an injury similar to what Orton is suffering from. The legend, on the Kurt Angle Show, commented on how severe the injury was and if Randy Orton’s return was in doubt. 

“Your back controls everything. You can’t do anything when your back is hurting. I’ll give you an example. Randy Orton just had surgery on his back. He literally couldn’t do anything, and this surgery is hopefully saving his career. But that’s how much back problems can affect you as a pro wrestler.”
