The Viper was last seen on television in May 2022, when he suffered a serious back injury. He has been out of action for about 11 months now

Considering that WrestleMania 39 is just around the corner, the former world champion's absence has been felt more than ever. So is Randy Orton returning to WWE?

[{"selector":"#anim-f4cd805a-5582-4b2c-9483-9c496aac333a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f051b6cd-5a28-4eec-9871-2d499c5bb9d4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-61dca8ff-402e-4437-96dc-882179d20147","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

Randy Orton seemingly sent an email to popular wrestling bootmaker Jose G. Sanz to place an order for a new pair of wrestling boots

[{"selector":"#anim-c3fdf2b5-8d41-47db-89d5-6e48931f5476","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-116.44295%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11134596-fd9d-4a7b-a60a-cc0c53c157a3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d235d40d-cf2d-4f6a-a76e-830004322133","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

Still, nothing has been confirmed yet. Hopefully, The Legend Killer will return soon, preferably before WrestleMania 39.

[{"selector":"#anim-c641577a-db9c-4ee1-b878-b002a6324291","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.92356%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4718b86c-29c2-4fc8-9fbe-8f77ea3b27e4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-82baad9e-5210-494b-8bd3-782e428ee453","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

Until Orton returns, fans will be free to speculate on what he can do once he makes his much-awaited comeback.

[{"selector":"#anim-33384303-ee94-42b9-a92a-a67bfdde103f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.96816%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-aaddc459-691f-47ea-9ae7-472c67a168bb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-49e77d0d-5ba7-4ff3-a921-bc59f79b998b","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

The two showcased remarkable chemistry as RK-Bro, but this chapter might meet its end, leading to a rivalry between the former tag team champions.

[{"selector":"#anim-559b2990-9e9a-4e53-b659-051896b8a0b0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c9060629-e5db-4686-bde2-7ffee1fd49d3","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b998e8bf-df8b-466b-bb3c-3419a466bbec","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

If Randy Orton continues to team up with Riddle upon his WWE comeback, the two could face the Undisputed Tag Team Champions after WrestleMania Goes Hollywood

[{"selector":"#anim-8e84fa2b-909b-4de1-b538-1bf29be5c3a6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-114.8265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d2b2005d-22ea-4250-abc9-f98efb3cb716","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c498c038-1164-484c-a66f-296ef61a65ce","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

It will be interesting to see if they go up against The Usos or Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn as a title-change could happen at The Show of Shows

[{"selector":"#anim-c1a7d7ae-e39b-4c52-a6d6-915714e8083d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.92356%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-da6fe13e-827d-40d3-9e11-7b29d43528cf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2e1ffa50-c0d0-411a-aada-399bd62191b4","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google

The Viper could also do something unexpected by entering into a rivalry with someone like LA Knight, Bray Wyatt

[{"selector":"#anim-0ac1b65e-e0f9-472e-ab30-5554e3bc4de0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.28663%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d907fd3d-8fb9-4ff8-b3d3-448fd35336a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea43e089-5ae9-4c14-bd6b-c1876615bfff","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Image Credit - Google
