Randy Orton has been MIA for over eight months. Last year, in May, The Viper sustained a severe back injury that led him out of commission. Before Orton’s hiatus, he and his tag team partner Matt Riddle were involved in a rivalry with The Bloodline’s Jey and Jimmy Uso. With each passing month, his fans have been eagerly expecting his return. However, it was previously reported that Randy Orton’s injury would have him sidelined indefinitely.
Some fans even expected the Apex Predator to make his return in the Royal Rumble match as a surprise entrant but, Orton’s surgically repaired back apparently needed more time to heal. According to reports, the years of taking bumps and dishing out RKOs were what led to Orton’s back injury. However, there is good news for his fans, as a recent revelation regarding his return is making the rounds on social media.
Randy Orton’s email to his bootmaker hints at his potential return
Wrestling bootmaker Jose G. Sanz recently took to his Instagram to reveal that the fourteen-time World Champion may be looking to make his in-ring return soon. Xero News shared a screenshot of Jose’s Instagram story, in which he divulged that he was contacted by the Viper to make him new wrestling boots for his return to the squared circle.
“I haven’t made them yet but Randy Orton contacted me via email for his return. Currently, Drew McIntyre and Bray Wyatt are some of the biggest superstars. Today I received an order for boots for Cody for Wrestlemania.” https://t.co/SdN86AcVUp
