Randy Orton in WWE
Randy Orton has not been in action for over a year now. The 43-year-old wrestler was last seen on WWE programming on the May 20 episode of SmackDown.
On that show, The Usos defeated Orton and Matt Riddle to win Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championships. After the match, The Usos attacked Orton by putting him through the announce table, which led to his back injury.
In November last year, Fightful Select reported that Orton had gone through fusion surgery on his lower back, because of which he would be away for an ‘extended period of time’. However, no definite time period was mentioned.
Randy Orton is undoubtedly one of the most popular and established WWE stars. He has bagged world titles 14 times – the same as Triple H, apart from John Cena and Ric Flair’s 16 reigns.
