Within weeks of his debut on the Raw brand, Orton suffered a shoulder injury, keeping him out for months. While recovering, Orton still appears in Raw in his own Randy News Network segment, a weekly sketch showing him talking about his condition. This show interferes with Raw's other programming segments, which causes Orton to slowly transform himself into a narcissistic and selfish villain.
After the injury heals, Orton joins Evolution's stable, which consists of Ric Flair, Triple H and newcomer Batista.
