The WWE Universe is still awaiting the return of Randy Orton, slightly over a year after his last appearance inside the squared circle. However, that doesn’t stop them from getting updates about the 43-year-old icon. Recently, Orton’s wife, Kim, shared a photo of him and it was flooded with comments.

And not just fans, the post received a comment from 14-time Women’s World champion Charlotte Flair as well.

Apart from being a third-generation pro-wrestler- following in the footsteps of his grandfather, Bob Sr., and father, Bob Jr.- Orton is also a part of the Ohio Valley Wrestling quartet. The OVW4 comprises himself, Batista, John Cena, and Brock Lesnar. The Viper is the youngest of them all. And like his three other batch mates, he’s well respected by both the industry and fans alike.

So, when a photo of him was shared, it was bound to get the reach it did. Kim Orton’s click of her husband showed him holding her foot. She captioned it: “always on my digits #luckyme”

Meanwhile, the WWE announced a few weeks ago that they have plans for Orton’s return. The news was preceded by a heartbreaking update by Orton’s father and WWE Hall of Famer, Bob Orton.

When is Randy Orton returning to the WWE and what’s causing the delay?

Before his current hiatus, Orton and his tag team partner Matt Riddle (RK-Bro) dropped their RAW Tag Team titles to The Usos, helping the latter to unify the belts and become the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions. Since then, he has been missing from action.

In May, the senior Orton said that his son is recuperating from a back fusion surgery. Bob Orton said that doctors have advised his son to stay away from the ring.

However, just a week after the development, reports emerged that the WWE has scheduled ‘The Legend Killer’s’ return. Though the company did not reveal the exact date, Orton is set to make his comeback this calendar year. WWE Universe would be waiting for that moment till then.
