Randy Orton Sets Date for WWE Return

Randy Orton will return to WWE action next month, according to a report from PWInsider. Multiple creative sources have confirmed that The Viper is expected to participate in WWE’s European tour leading to WrestleMania 41.

This update comes after Orton has been absent since suffering an injury on November 8, when Kevin Owens delivered a piledriver that caused doctors to diagnose him with cervical cord neuropraxia. WWE provided no timeline for his recovery following the incident.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful addressed Orton’s situation during a recent post-RAW show.

Does Randy Orton fit right into the Sami Zayn-Kevin Owens thing? Because he has been sort of the odd man out in his absence. I know they’ve wanted him involved in WrestleMania, but I haven’t specifically heard anything. So, I’m hopeful that he’s back soon.

Orton’s last WWE appearance came on October 25 during SmackDown, where he teamed with Cody Rhodes against GUNTHER and Ludwig Kaiser.
