According to PWInsider, Randy Orton is expected to reappear on WWE television on the December 5 episode of SmackDown in Austin, Texas. This is the first news about Orton since his final televised match for a while on October 3, sparking fan speculation about when he would return.
Darkness Overshadowing Survivor Series
WWE has not listed Orton for Survivor Series, leaving his involvement in the event uncertain. His last pay-per-view appearance was at SummerSlam on August 2, where he teamed with Jelly Roll in a losing effort against Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul. Randy Orton has made limited appearances since returning from a spinal cord nerve injury earlier this year at Elimination Chamber.
A Legacy That Spans Decades
Randy Orton joined WWE in 2000 under a developmental deal, beginning his rise toward becoming one of the company’s biggest stars. He progressed quickly through the developmental system in Ohio Valley Wrestling and debuted on the main roster in 2002.
Orton made history in 2004 by becoming the youngest World Heavyweight Champion in WWE history at the time. He has since won 14 world championships: four World Heavyweight Championships and ten WWE Championships, making him one of the most decorated performers in WWE history.
