2) Details regarding Edge's return to WWE

Former World Champion Edge has been out of action ever since he lost his 'I Quit' match against Finn Balor at Extreme Rules 2022. The Judgment Day injured not only the Rated-R Superstar but also his wife Beth Phoenix. However, as per PWInsider, both Edge and Beth Phoenix are set to make a return at Royal Rumble 2023.

It has been rumored that Edge is looking to retire after this WrestleMania. So there is a high chance that a major match is being planned for him. For now, it looks like his feud with The Judgment Day will continue and the Ultimate Opportunist will be out for revenge when he finally returns to action.

1) Major concern over Randy Orton's career

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has reported that there is a lot of concern over Randy Orton's future. He also stated that RK-Bro is likely done as WWE have given Sheamus and Drew McIntyre the name Banger Bros. Considering the fact that the company doesn't like to have teams with similar names, it is a clear indication.

''McIntyre & Sheamus are now being called The Banger Bros. A key question from that regards both Orton & Riddle as RK-Bro, which would seem to mean there are no imminent plans for them to return because the WWE doesn’t usually like to do names so similarly.''

Randy Orton and Matt Riddle were known as RK-Bro and are former RAW tag team champions. Orton has been on a sabbatical owing to a back injury. Riddle, on the other hand, had a singles run after Orton was taken out but is currently out of action due to being in rehab.
