Randy Orton Spotted In Detroit Ahead Of SummerSlam

[THEDEVILHIMSELF]

Randy Orton is reportedly in town ahead of WWE SummerSlam.

Orton has been sidelined since May 2022; he has not wrestled since the May 20 episode of WWE SmackDown, where he and Riddle lost the RAW Tag Team Championship to The Usos. “The Viper” subsequently had back surgery, and he was expected to be out of action for an extended period.
Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that Orton is in Detroit ahead of WWE SummerSlam.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful tweeted that, per sources close to Orton, he is nowhere near medically cleared to return at this point.

Update On Randy Orton​

Sapp recently reported that Orton is not cleared to compete, though he has started lifting again. Per Sapp, Orton is not figured into WWE’s creative plans, and fans shouldn’t count on a potential return at SummerSlam. Doctors have told Orton that wrestling in the future is not a good idea, but he intends to return.

I thinks he is medically cleared but everyone is staying hush about it to make the return bigger, Id love one more run from Orton, As Im sure he can still go in the ring. Ive always belived he should be the man to beat Flairs world title record, but it seems thats not likley now.

From what I’ve heard, it’s the complete opposite and he’s not even remotely close to coming back.

Hopefully we get one last run. That ends with him and Cena or him and Edge at Mania

I am hoping that all of the "He isn't close to returning" stuff is just an attempt to throw people off and he really is close. Orton vs. Rhodes would be fun. What I worry about is that the RKO involves him landing on his back. So even IF he does return, exactly what would he be able to still do?

Use his old finisher the overdrive or bring back the punt kick, thats the only thing I can see the be honest

Rhea, Becky, Raquel, Liv and Trish are all here too.

 

[Deezy]

So either Sapp or Johnson are fulla shit

 

[THEDEVILHIMSELF]

Orton returns and takes out Cody, setting up a Cody vs Orton feud, Mentor vs The Student

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Rhea, Becky, Raquel, Liv and Trish are all here too.

I don't believe Becky is.

 

[#Waddles]

I don't believe Becky is.

You may be right. I saw it on Twitter.

 

[#Waddles]

I don't believe Becky is.

You right B. My fault.

They've done a lot better of a job of keeping returns under wraps since HHH took over so i'd be a bit surprised if this led to anything.
