Randy Orton expected to make WWE return soon

Randy Orton suffered a legitimate back injury while performing on SmackDown in May 2022 in a Tag Team Unification match. He underwent back fusion surgery in November 2022 and his father Bob Orton reported earlier this year that Randy is recovering well and he was advised not to step inside the wrestling ring again. On the road to SummerSlam, it was reported that Orton was not cleared from his medical conditions as he hasn't started his in-ring training yet.

In September 2023, it was confirmed that Orton started training at the performance center and video of Orton’s arrival was leaked. Week’s ago it was informed that WWE have started scripting the creative for Randy Orton’s return to the company. At this stage another positive update on Orton has been revealed.

Randy Orton’s return

Ringside News exclusively inquired about Randy Orton's potential return with the internal sources with which they were told that his return is described inside creative meetings as “soon”. It is believed that WWE are not trying to hide Orton's WWE status as they were transparent on him recovering. 

Ringside News also added to the report that there were no plans for an RK-Bro reunion even before Matt Riddle's release from the company.

There were rumors on the internet before the previous status update on Orton, that Orton might be returning as a heel and confronting a top babyface. However there is no official information from the company.

Last time when Orton was in WWE he had a successful run in the tag team division teaming up with Matt Riddle and holding the Raw Tag Team Championship on his shoulder.
