The legendary Randy Orton has been out of the ring for a while now. The Viper suffered a back injury in May 2022. This forced him out of the wrestling action ever since. Several high-profile events have gone by, and fans have still not received confirmation of his return. However, recent updates concerning Orton have worried his fans.

Several reports are coming in about the wrestler’s state of recovery. Although Orton has been in recovery for a while now, his return won’t be possible just yet. Hence, fans are afraid that by the time the wrestler is fully recovered, the ‘age barrier’ would not let him return to action.

Randy Orton’s fans sadden by the latest update on his possible return

A wrestling legend’s possible retirement is sad news for all their fans. Now, Randy Orton’s news has taken over to emotionally hurt his fans.

As this upsetting news was reported, fans started speculating about Orton’s approaching retirement.

A gloomy atmosphere takes over Orton’s fans as the news pairs with other ongoing affairs.

One fan has even accepted the fate while wishing the superstar an emotional farewell in advance.

It appears that Orton’s fans are having a bad day after speculating on the news. Considering how iconic The Viper’s career has been, all his fans are entitled to be upset about this. The fact that fans thought he was getting closer to return makes everything worse.

There were pre-Mania rumors and speculations that Orton will be returning soon in WrestleMania 39. Although he could also return any other night, WrestleMania would have been a great way for the big star to return. However, as Mania went by without Orton’s involvement, fans grew more and more impatient regarding an official update.

There are situations that prevent both the promotion and the wrestler from confirming the return situation. However, fans will hope they have a more promising update on Orton’s in-ring future soon.
