Randy Orton In-Ring Comeback In Progress
Randy Orton has undergone back fusion surgery and his absence from WWE television is notable.

This prolonged absence has fans worried, but it seems WWE has a strategic action plan in place.
Randy Orton is on the road to recovery, but a specific timeline for his return is still unclear.
Randy Orton has not been involved since May 2022, but he is working hard for his return.
Fightful Select sheds some light on its status. According to sources within the WWE Creative Team, as of last week, Randy Orton has not been included in any of WWE’s creative plans.

Sources in WWE Creative say Randy Orton has not been considered in WWE’s creative plans as of last week.
“We’ve heard that he’s not yet cleared for in-ring training or action, and those we’ve spoken to say that there hasn’t been an extensive conversation about what the plans will be for Orton.
As of now, before in-ring training resumes, Orton is planning to make a return to the ring. However, a lower back fusion isn’t typical among pro wrestlers and is uncharted territory for many.
Doctors have told Orton that wrestling in the future isn’t a good idea, but he still plans on it. He has resumed lifting, and we’ve told he’s “huge” as a result.
Although Randy Orton has continued his training routine, he has limited impact.”
Plans have been put in place to bring him to the Performance Center to facilitate this period of his recovery.
