Now, after a sudden disappearance from in-ring action around last October, the rumors around return time of Randy Orton have reached to the sky-high limit. The rumors suggested that he is scheduled for anytime return starting from the month of June where we have seen a number of superstars getting back into the ring beating the injury bug. Though, it was later revealed that he is not returning until the Summerslam season gets over.
WrestlingINC.com was the first to report that Randy Orton’s name was included in various live events in the month of August which included one from San Antonio, Texas which was supposed to mark the much-anticipated return. Now, the same source reported that we might get him early and even before the Summerslam pay-per-view. Randy Orton was advertised to return from a live event of Hidalgo which specially mentioned that the house show will mark his return.

With that being confirmed the fog regarding randy Orton return is cleared now and we are assured that he will not be present at the WWE Draft which will be held on July 19th, 2016. It is also expected that returning to the live event will eventually mark his appearance on the WWE television taping i.e. either on Raw or Smackdown. Though, there’s no indication of Randy Orton’s opponent after his return.
One of all time greats and WWE’s Apex Predator has been sidelined from the ring from last October 2015 due to injury. There have been constant rumors over the exact injury reason. WWE has never issued any formal statement on his injury and return which kept the rumor mill going on speculating his injury and his possible return date. Though, Randy himself acknowledged that his injury had occurred due to a match held in October in Chicago. He also underwent a surgery which was much similar that of the Rugby players. Numerous reports have already confirmed that Randy Orton has been medically cleared to be featured in an in-ring competition.
