Big update on Randy Orton's return to WWE - Reports

Randy Orton has been out of action from WWE for some time now. However, that's expected to change soon if he has healed adequately from his extensive injury.

WrestleMania 39 is only a week away and is already shaping up to be one of the best shows of the year. The matches set for the card on both nights are expected to deliver, but a stunning return appearance from Randy Orton would certainly provide a boost.

The Viper has been sidelined from in-ring action since May 2022 due to a back injury. He was written off of TV after an ambush by The Usos and Roman Reigns after a match to unify the tag team titles on SmackDown. Dave Meltzer has reported in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Orton will be back quite soon.

"All the indications are that he's on his way back, which is also good news because at the end of last year, there were definitely people worried about him." (H/T WrestlingnewsCo)

Meltzer discussed Randy Orton's RK-Bro partner, Matt Riddle, stating that he does not know yet about his return.

"Riddle, you know what the situation is with Riddle. He could come back at any time. I have not heard his name mentioned," Meltzer said.

The Viper has been sorely missed by fans, but if reports are to be believed then he could be coming back soon. A recent report has stated that a number of other stars could likely return at The Grandest Stage of Them All as well.
