Randy Orton Spotted At The WWE Performance Center

Multi-time WWE Champion Randy Orton has been spotted at the company’s Performance Center amidst rumours of an incoming in-ring return.

Orton has been out of action since May 2022 with a serious back injury, one which later required fusion surgery. Recent reports have suggested that Orton is nearing an in-ring return, but Fightful Select have relayed that WWE sources have reiterated that Orton is not currently cleared for a return.

The report suggests that Orton has been reporting to the Performance Center ‘for some time’, with Orton believed to have ‘gotten huge in a good way’ through mandatory gym time at the PC. Sources in August suggested that Orton had not resumed in-ring training, and it seems it may still be some time until Orton returns. Videos surfaced on social media this week of Orton outside the PC, with his tour bus spotted in the area.

Back fusion surgery is no joke, and whilst the potential road back to in-ring competition is a long and arduous one, there are no guarantees, especially as Orton is well into his 40s.
