A potential piece of good news has emerged for the WWE Universe. Randy Orton might be returning soon. ‘The Viper’ has been out of action since May last year. The last time he was inside the squared circle was on the May 20th edition of Friday Night SmackDown, where he faced The Uso alongside his tag team partner, Matt Riddle.
WWE wrote Orton off the TV because of his legitimate back injury, which required fusion surgery. Ever since last year, he has been away from the promotion, recovering and healing his injury until now. Some fans recently spotted him entering the WWE training facility.
