Randy Orton, the WWE Superstar, has long been linked to rumours of a comeback. If The Viper shows up to SummerSlam on August 5, 2023 in Detroit, Michigan, he might smash a significant record.
On the SmackDown programme from May 20, 2022, Orton made his final appearance on WWE television. In a match against The Usos, he and his tag team teammate Matt Riddle fell to Jimmy as well as Jey Uso and were stripped of their titles.
After a while, it was revealed that Orton had a back issue and required some rest. The Viper has failed to appear on television since that time, but he is expected to do so before SummerSlam.
With 16 performances, Orton is presently tied alongside The Undertaker for the most SummerSlam appearances, according to a recent tweet from WrestlingWorldCC. The Viper has the potential to surpass the previous record set for most SummerSlam performances if he shows up at The Biggest Event of the Summer on August 5.
“Randy Orton will be a part of my Judgment Day”: Rhea Ripley
Rhea Ripley recently stated during a round of questions and answers that she prefers Orton to be part of The Judgement Day when he returns to the WWE because she does not want any sort of threat from The Viper as he has a reputation for storylines that involve delivering an RKO upon female superstars.
The popular WWE diva said that “People on social media, they keep throwing this one person’s name at me, hoping that he’d come and put me in my place. So my choice [to join The Judgment Day] would be Randy Orton because ain’t no one hitting Mami with an RKO. Mami is always right, and Mami is always on top. Randy Orton will be a part of my Judgment Day, and he’d be a step below Mami.”
Orton’s return is highly anticipated by the crowd. In the event that the rumours are accurate, he might appear at SummerSlam. The only thing that fans and aspirants have to worry about is what the Viper and the WWE have in store for them.
