Why did WWE not feature Randy Orton since 2022?
WWE fans have been waiting for more than one and a half years now for Randy Orton to make a return to the Stamford-based wrestling promotion. The future Hall Of Famer has achieved many phenomenal feats in WWE, and his run was going pretty well in the promotion until he suffered a serious back injury.
Randy Orton suffered this tragic injury in May of last year while facing off against The Uso Brothers with his RK-Bro partner Matt Riddle. Orton and Matt were defending their RAW Tag Team titles. In the match, the RK-Bros lost, which resulted in losing the Tag Team titles. After the match was over, Randy Orton and Matt Riddle were ambushed by The Bloodline faction. While Roman Reigns was giving a beatdown The Viper unfortunately received a back injury.
After that, Randy Orton was not seen in any WWE shows. At the beginning, fans thought it was all part of the storyline. But eventually, they realized that the injury was real when Orton went through several back surgeries. The Viper is currently recovering and trying to return to WWE.
