Another WWE legend is dealing with the same situation at the moment but now we know something more about what he is thinking.

Randy Orton has not wrestled since May 2022 due to recovery from a back injury. In recent months though, rumors have circulated that WWE is hoping Orton will be back in the ring around Survivor Series. According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE believes Survivor Series is the “suggested time frame” for Orton’s return. Orton’s doctors are said to want him to retire but Orton, 43, is hoping to continue wrestling until he is 50.

Opinion: I don’t think it’s much of a secret that Orton is trying to come back at Survivor Series, even if that might not be the best move.

He’ll never have another chance to have this kind of success and that can be very tempting.
