WWE Superstar Randy Orton is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after dislocating his shoulder.
The Viper last competed in a match on the October 12 edition of Monday Night Raw, teaming with Dean Ambrose in a losing effort against The New Day's Kofi Kingston and Big E.
"Randy has suffered from a dislocated shoulder," WWE physician Dr. Steve Daquino told WWE.com.
"He's had chronic problems with his shoulder, and a recent MRI that was done found he has a Bankart lesion in his shoulder, some stretched ligaments and a partially torn rotator cuff.
"At this point it's a matter of when he dislocates the shoulder again, and not if. Surgery seems imminent, and recovery time for such a surgery would be four to six months."
Orton is a 12-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion and one-time Intercontinental Champion, while he also held the WWE Tag Team Team Titles alongside Edge between November 2006 and January 2007.
