Update On Randy Orton’s WWE Status

I guess that’s something. With so many wrestlers on its active roster, it can be a little bit difficult to keep track of everyone WWE has around. This can be a bigger problem when a more prominent star is gone as it leads to questions about what is going on. One such WWE star was gone recently, and now we know a little bit more about why he has been missing.

Randy Orton reportedly missed a recent live event and was not on this week’s Monday Night Raw either. According to PWInsider.com, the word backstage at Monday Night Raw is that Orton was not “cleared to perform”, though there is no word on what is specifically wrong with him. Orton last appeared on the September 20 Monday Night Raw and it is not clear when he will be back.

Orton has had some returns before. Check out some of his best returns:

Randy Orton returns with sights set on AJ Styles: Raw, Aug. 9, 2021

A returning Randy Orton RKOs Chris Jericho: WWE Battleground 2016 on WWE Network

Randy Orton Returns: February 22, 2015

Opinion: That could mean all kinds of things and hopefully Orton is back in the ring sooner rather than later. Orton has been around for a very long time now and there is a reason he keeps showing up: he really is that good. Despite being in his 40s, Orton can still go as well as almost anyone else on Monday Night Raw and will be nice to have him back, whenever that is the case.

What do you think of Orton? What will he do when he gets back? Let us know in the comments below.
