Randy Orton Will Register Himself in WWE Record Books Again if He Returns at SummerSlam 2023

SummerSlam is just a week away. As the event draws nearer, fans’ anticipation for Randy Orton‘s return to WWE is increasing. ‘The Viper’ has been out of action since May last year and the WWE Universe is dying to see him back inside the ring.

Well, we don’t know if Orton will return to the Biggest Party of the Summer, this year, but if he does, then he will surely register himself in the WWE books as he will be creating a record.

Randy Orton has appeared in SummerSlam 16 times till now

WWE via WWE on Fox‘s Twitter handle, recently released a tweet that shows how many times Orton has made a SummerSlam appearance in WWE. The number is 16, which is also the same amount of time The Undertaker has made appearances at SummerSlam.

John Cena sits in the second spot with a total of 15 SummerSlam appearances. If ‘The Legend Killer’ returns at the upcoming premium live event on August 6 then he will be the superstar to make the most SummerSlam appearances in the history of WWE.

‘The Apex Predator’ will occupy the first spot, which will push Taker to the second and Cena to the third. It will be interesting to see if it happens. There is a chance that it might happen, as fresh news from the world of wrestling has given a positive update about Orton’s health.
