However, A fresh report spills the beans on when Orton will be making his grand comeback to the Stamford-based promotion, and the source is quite trusted when it comes to providing backstage information about WWE.
Is Randy Orton going to make his comeback at Survivor Series?
WWE superstar Randy Orton has been missing in action from the WWE scene since getting sidelined in May 2022. For the past few weeks, word on the street has been buzzing with reports that The Viper might just slither his way back into the Stamford-based promotion before Survivor Series 2023. While the WWE hasn’t spilled the beans yet, a report from a reliable PWInsider has got fans crossing their fingers for his comeback.
Randy Orton has been absent from WWE after he got injured during an episode of Monday Night Raw. The injury was so severe that he had to receive fusion surgery to even do the normal activities, let alone training. The doctors even advised The Legend Killer to stay away from wrestling, but Orton is reluctant to heed the advice as he was recently spotted in the WWE performance center taking part in training.
