Randy Orton has been out of action since May 20, 2022.
On that episode of SmackDown, Orton and Matt Riddle lost the Raw Tag Team Championship to the Usos in a Championship Unification match.
Orton was written off TV following the match, and his injury has kept him off WWE television ever since.
It was reported last week that Orton had recently undergone surgery, which would keep him out for a significant period of time.
There were even some within the company who said they would be lucky to have Orton back following the injury.
Orton’s father, WWE Hall of Famer Cowboy Bob Orton Jr recently appeared on a virtual signing for K & S WrestleFest, where he provided an update on his son’s recovery.
He said:
He’s [Randy Orton] coming along. I see him maybe once a week or so. But he’s coming along. He’ll be back in there before you know it.
There is currently no timetable on Orton’s return.
