Randy Orton's WWE return has been the talk of the town ever since he took a break to heal from his back injuries. The Viper was last seen in action on the May 20, 2022, episode of Friday Night SmackDown. The good news is that he has seemingly recovered from his health issues.
Randy Orton could return to WWE at Money in the Bank in 2023, nearly a year after he was forced to take a break from in-ring action. The doctors allegedly told the 14-time world champion not to return to active in-ring competition the last time his father, Bob Orton, provided an update on him.
With that said, WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently provided a wholesome update on his former opponent's condition. The Olympic gold medalist said Orton has recovered from his back surgery and is apparently fit to return to the squared circle.
