The return date for Randy Orton on WWE TV has reportedly been confirmed.
Randy Orton hasn’t been seen on WWE TV since the October 3 episode of SmackDown, leading fans to question when “The Viper” will be returning to the company. Now, PWInsider has reported that Orton is scheduled to appear at the December 5 episode of SmackDown in Austin, Texas.
It is unknown if Orton will compete at Survivor Series, which takes place a week before his scheduled SmackDown appearance, although he hasn’t been announced for the card. Orton’s last pay-per-view bout came at night one of SummerSlam on August 2, where he teamed with Jelly Roll to face the team of Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul in a losing effort. Orton has appeared sporadically in WWE since he returned from a spinal cord nerve injury at Elimination Chamber in March.
How Long Has Randy Orton Been With WWE?
