RUMOR: Former WWE Champion May Return Before WrestleMania 39

This is only a rumor, so take it for what it’s worth. A former WWE champion, who has been injured for quite some time, may be returning to the ring before WrestleMania 39.

In a response to a fan on his Facebook Stories, wrestling bootmaker Jose G Sanz stated that Randy Orton recently contacted him about making boots for his return to the ring. He said the following:

“I haven’t made them yet but Randy Orton contacted me via email for his return. Currently, Drew McIntyre and Bray Wyatt are some of the biggest superstars. Today I received an order for boots for Cody for Wrestlemania.”

On Facebook Stories, wrestling bootmaker Jose G Sanz was asked which wrestler has had the biggest impact on him out of those who order from him.

Orton has been out of action since the May 20, 2022 episode of Smackdown, where The Usos defeated RK-Bro to unify the Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships. A few days later, it was announced that Orton had suffered a legitimate back injury and was expected to be on hiatus for the rest of 2022.

 

Editor’s Opinion:

If this is true, this could be a great thing for the company going into WrestleMania season. It would be easy to set up a match between him and Matt Riddle, and you could easily build that up over the next few weeks.
