Randy Orton has been out of action since May 2022 due to a back injury, which forced him to undergo surgery. However, there have been rumors of Orton preparing to return to the ring. According to PWInsider.com and Fightful Select, Orton has recently been seen at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. This does NOT confirm that Orton will be returning to the ring, though returning WWE wrestlers often train at the Performance Center. There is no word on when Orton could return, assuming he is medically cleared to do so.
Orton is a star. Check out some moments from his WWE career:
Opinion: This is one of those things where I’m not going to believe it until I see it. Orton has been out of action for almost a year and a half now and is already in his early 40s. That is a heck of a return to make and while it would be cool to see Orton show up and finish his career on his own terms, it is a heck of a comeback if it happens. Just having some hope is fun though.
Do you think Orton will return to the ring? Do you want him to? Let us know in the comments below.
