Randy Orton was recently part of a storyline alongside Riddle on WWE TV, but after he failed to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match last month, Orton has been a notable absentee.

In the weeks that have followed, Riddle has tried to help Orton qualify for the match as well as failing to win a contract at the event itself last weekend. The former UFC star has been trying to continue their storyline alone, but WWE appears to be running out of ideas. Riddle has been vocal about the fact that he wants his former teammate back, but as of yet Orton has not returned to RAW.

The most recent updates regarding The Viper are that he has been moved over to the disabled/inactive list internally in WWE but the company is hopeful that he will be back for the August 2nd episode of RAW.

With SummerSlam right around the corner, WWE will want the former 14-time World Champion to be on-hand in order to play a huge part in the show.
