According to recent reports from insiders, the 43-year-old champion will soon be returning to WWE, which is not only thrilling for fans but also for the company.
WWE has approved new Randy Orton products and branding in anticipation of his comeback. His return might take place during Survivor Series or over that weekend, and if it does, he’s likely to receive a huge reception.
Is Randy Orton ready to return to WWE?
Randy Orton has been out for nearly a year with a back issue. Sighting reports of him in the Performance Center as recently as September have fueled speculation about his possible comeback. According to rumors, WWE is planning Orton’s big return, aiming to make it one of the biggest in WWE history.
His devoted following has noticed evidence of his comeback, including new music by the group Rev Theory, who performed his signature entrance song “Voices.” There will likely be social media campaigns to promote the big comeback as well.
Moreover, a few months ago, Kurt Angle revealed Viper’s health condition in his podcast. Hall of Famer said, “Doing good man. He recovered from his back surgery. He’s, I think he’s gonna come back pretty damn soon. He’s doing much better, yes.”
Randy Orton’s 21-year run in WWE has been nothing short of spectacular. It’s possible that in 2024 if he makes a full recovery, he’ll be the main event at WrestleMania.
WWE reportedly working on Randy Orton merchandise
Randy Orton is nearing his return to the main roster, even though the severity of his injuries initially raised concerns. His return was rumored to be planned for Survivor Series. WWE has significant plans to promote his return to in-ring action. As of now, WWE has not officially announced Randy’s comeback. Currently, the company’s focus is on the Crown Jewel event scheduled for November 4 in Saudi Arabia.
After that, on November 25, WWE will have Survivor Series, squaring up RAW versus SmackDown. The latest update suggests that WWE is preparing an extravagant return for The Viper in Chicago, with new merchandise for the occasion. WWE will promote his comeback with heavy social media and digital material. He’ll likely return during Survivor Series or the following weekend.
Since neither Viper’s physicians nor WWE officials have made any public statements on his health or return to WWE, there is no way to know for sure how he is doing. If he does make a comeback, who do you think he should face first in his new WWE storyline? Share your opinion in the comments.
