What if Orton got injured?

[thevarzens]

What would WWE do to continue the current storyline?

[mrbananagrabber]

They can still have him be there, cut promos and have Shield attack people. They can even have him show up on crutches saying he wants to fight Bryan but can't

Lets be honest, he's a bit of an after thought in this whole story anyway. If HHH is still healthy all is well.

[Sparkybob]

Give Hunter the title or promote someone new to the top.

[Dave the Dave]

Time to play the game.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

doesn't matter. remember, it's really Triple H's property and Orton's just his belt caddy.

[JTG Fan]

Have your new Corporate guy attack Orton for being injury prone and weak.

[HisRoyalGreeness]

I think an even better question would be, what if Orton failed wellness?

Probably the better question to ask. Orton hasn't been injured in awhile, but he's already 2 strikes down and I'm kinda surprised they're going with a storyline like this for a guy who only has no more chances.

Pretty much my thoughts, the E will never stop pushing this guy for some reason.

[Dave the Dave]

They probably just won't test him. Why risk it?

You forgot that it's Randy Orton, a man who couldn't possibly do anything wrong.

If Orton got injured, HHH would probably take the title himself or give it to another big heel.

He's actually on 3 strikes already. The "bike crash" in 2008 was a total lie

HHH gives Orton the thumbs down, brings in Douchtista as the new face of the company.

Corporate Punk vs Bryan for the WWE title.

That'd be the best route I'd say. Let Orton's being put on the shelf get tied into the storyline. Although, that would also guarantee him a fresh face turn upon return...

As for the biggie for Del Rio being the Corporate Rehash's champion, how does it not work? Hell, most people'd argue his whole reason being where he is is because of how high management is on him. Consider it a wink and a nod to his being a favorite of the brass.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

First openly gay WWE Champion Darren Young.

[percymania]

Triple H simply reclaims his title.

[Hit Girl]

Yeah, they'll just shift it to HHH, because that's who DB is feuding with anyway.

Any number of wrestlers could have been plugged into the role Orton is playing
