Over the Limit injuries

It appears that multiple superstars were injured this past Sunday on WWE's new PPV: "Over the Limit"


A WHO'S WHO OF INJURED STARS




First up, Randy Orton

Orton is stated to have suffer a seperated shoulder during his match with Edge. It became obvious during his taunt before his RKO finisher.

Staff backstage were said to be extremely frantic about the initial injury, but seeing as he appeared on RAW the next night and furthermore was booked on the upcoming PPV "Fatal 4Way", it appears that the injury may not have been as drastic as originally stated.




Up next, CM Punk

STAPLED HEAD SOCIETY

CM Punk suffered not only a bald head at Over The Limit, but reports claim that Punk received several staples in his head after being thrown into the fan barrier during his match with Rey Mysterio.



Next on the list, John Cena

GAP TOOTH NATION

During his I Quit Match with Batista, John Cena reportedly knocked out a tooth. Cena himself confirmed this on his twitter account:

"Morning CeNation. Spent last 3 hrs at dentist. Got a tooth knocked out at OTL. Mouth numb."

Fourth injury, Batista

THE ANIMAL TAMED

Batista has been reported to have suffer a back and / or tailbone injury during one of the last two bumps in his match against John Cena.

Batista worked the injury angle on this weeks episode of RAW, entering the RAW Zone in a wheelchair, whilst being assisted to the ring by a couple of referees. Batista then went irrate during his in-ring promo, which resulted in him stating "I QUIT", whereby leaving the WWE.

Interesting to note that Batista has been rumoured to be leave the WWE soon, but due to recent injuries, Batista may have left sooner rather than later



Last, but not least, Ted DiBiase

MILLION DOLLAR KNOCKOUT

DiBiase suffered a concussion during his match with R-Truth. Reports state that the concussion was a result of a hard slap during the early part of the match. The storyline of the match was changed as a result

Randy Orton Wins the Rumble

Randy Orton (pictured above, center) has defied the odds (even though there were none to begin with) and has won the 2009 Royal Rumble and is heading to WrestleMania 25 as the #1 contender.

RKO WIN

With the help of his trusted allies Cody Rhodes (pictured above, left) and Ted DiBiase (pictured above, right), Randy Orton was able to steal the win from Triple H.

Now, he heads to WrestleMania to challenge for either the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship.

A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS...

The Legacy stable were the overall dominants in this year's Royal Rumble.

If not for the stable, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase would have never been in the Rumble, let alone be apart of the final four.

As Triple H was eliminating Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, Orton was able to sneak in from behind and eliminate Triple H.

FORESEEN WINNER

With all the hype, and the McMahon Family feud - Randy Orton was an obvious choice the win the Rumble.

When rumours and reports starting printing that 'Cowboy' Bob Orton (Orton's Father) was going to be in the audience, things became even more predictable.

Of course, the SmackDown writers were trying to sway the thoughts of wrestling fans, by giving Triple H a slim chance of "over-coming the evil SmackDown Empire" and win the Royal Rumble after being chosen as the 1st entrant.

Notably, those plans were scraped at the very last minute.


FINAL THOUGHT

I'm glad Orton won - I would have liked to have seen Triple H and Orton have a longer battle though.
