Just a few days waiting for the Money in the Bank 2023 premium live event, excitement is all-time high among the fans. This is the first time Triple H will be in charge of the creative team around this highly popular gimmick-based PLE and he’s expectedly providing a lot of chances to the young generation.
Big surprises are also expected to go down at Money in the Bank 2023 including a big return. Legendary Randy Orton is the name under speculation for some time to make his return to WWE programming and many believe that this Saturday’s PLE could be the place to see him back on TV.

The rumors turned wild after WRKD Wrestling reported that Orton’s return could take place as soon as the Money in the Bank 2023 premium live event in London, England,
“Randy Orton is expected to be nearing a return, possibly even as soon as this weekend’s Money In The Bank.”
However, a tenured source on the WWE creative team confirmed Ringside News that, “Randy Orton is not returning at MITB”. The report also added that “if anyone says ‘may return,’ that is pure clickbait.”

It was the same source that previously informed that the rumors of Orton possibly announcing retirement due to injury were also incorrect with the following statement, “Randy Orton did not have a heart attack. Randy Orton has a return date in the future, it’s not this summer, but it is in this calendar year.”

WWE is open to giving fresh talents a chance through the Money in the Bank 2023 PLE and the headliner ladder matches. No creative aspect has been created to make him return on TV and it doesn’t make any sense to insert him in an impromptu way. However, with Summerslam approaching closer, WWE may be looking forward to utilizing him in the biggest PLE of the summer.
Randy Orton’s last match took place on the May 20th, 2022 episode of Smackdown, where he and Matt Riddle – Team RK-Bro lost the RAW Tag Team Titles to then-SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos. Afterward, The Viper had to go into a hiatus given that he was dealing with a back injury.
