WWE is reportedly hopeful Randy Orton could make his long-awaited return to TV before the end of the year.
Orton last competed in May 2022 when he and his RK-Bro tag team partner, Matt Riddle, lost the RAW Tag Team Championships to The Usos on SmackDown. He has since been out of action due to a back injury.
In an interview with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestling last May, Orton's father, Hall of Famer Bob Orton Jr., provided an update on his son's condition. He revealed that doctors have advised The Viper not to return to in-ring competition. Nevertheless, he pointed out that "Randy will do what Randy wants to do."
In a recent update, Xero News reported that, according to a source, WWE is still hopeful that The Viper would return to TV before the end of 2023. However, the company is yet to make any plans for his comeback.
