Due to a "severe" back condition, WWE Superstar Randy Orton has been unable to appear on TV since May.

The Wrestling Observer reports that individuals within WWE are very concerned about the seriousness of Randy’s injuries, which indicates that Orton is the subject of much worry at the moment. Despite this, some fresh details regarding what WWE could have in store for Randy when he eventually returns to television have surfaced.
There is currently no information available on when WWE fans may anticipate seeing Orton back on television, although it is widely accepted that any return will almost certainly take place in 2023 rather than this year. Speaking exclusively to GiveMeSport about how WWE may bring him back, WrestleVotes said that the initial plans were designed with Randy turning on Matt Riddle right away.
“When Randy Orton went down, the plan was for him to come back and immediately turn on Matt Riddle.”
It’s important to note that these plans were created around the time of Randy’s injury, which occurred not only in May but also when Vince McMahon was still in charge of WWE.
However, now that he has stepped down from his roles as CEO and Chairman of WWE, Triple H could wish to go in a different route.
It’s noteworthy to note that WWE intended for Randy to flip on Riddle as soon as he returned, rather than delaying the turn until RK-Bro had recovered, as it did throughout the first few months of 2022.

The WrestleVotes who were mentioned before in the conversation also discussed Matt Riddle’s current standing inside WWE. The plans WWE had for Riddle may have fallen apart if they had anticipated Orton’s return by now, according to WrestleVotes, who also suggested that WWE may have assumed Orton would be back by now.
“Maybe they don’t have anything drawn out for Riddle now because they assumed that Randy would be back by now?”
Since defeating Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules on October 8, Riddle and Elias have been collaborating on WWE TV, and the two of them teamed together to take on Alpha Academy on Raw.
