Randy Orton has been on WWE's inactive list. He was originally supposed to compete in the 'Last Chance' Money in the Bank qualifying match against AJ Styles and Drew McIntyre, but his tag team partner Riddle took his place in that match instead.

While Riddle already qualified for the MITB ladder match, Randy Orton lost in his attempt. Since then, the WWE legend has been quiet and laying low while Riddle does the carrying for RK-Bro.

RK-Bro was one of the best parts of WWE TV and the duo are finally set to reunite on RAW this coming week. Wrestlingnews.co reported that local advertisements in Chicago have essentially confirmed Randy Orton's WWE return this coming week. Sportskeeda's Shiven Sachdeva wrote:

WrestlingNews.co have now stated that local advertisements in Chicago, IL have essentially confirmed the timeline for Randy Orton's return to WWE. He is being advertised for the August 2nd show, where he will be teaming up with Riddle and Drew McIntyre to take on Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, and Omos. This will be a dark match.

We hope this is true because it's high time Randy Orton makes his WWE return. Hopefully, it results in RK-Bro getting a RAW Tag Team Title victory at SummerSlam 2021.
