Why does Randy Orton no longer use the punt anymore?
Randy Orton’s punt to the head of his opponents has been phased out due to WWE’s stance on concussions. As we saw at Extreme Rules, the company still allows him to use it in certain situations but it’s not something that you can expect to return full-time to Orton’s move set. Basically, it’s a move that carries a risk that WWE feels outweighs the reward. Orton was able to use it at the pay-per-view due to the Extreme Rules stipulation and the fact they were in St. Louis (his hometown) didn’t hurt things. Dolph Ziggler’s concussion was another sobering reminder of the dangers of spots to the head and WWE is very serious in trying to cut down the number of concussions suffered by talent.
