Randy Orton made his much-awaited return to WWE last night at Survivor Series 2023. He returned during the men’s WarGames match at the AllState Arena in Chicago. Cody Rhodes had announced on the previous RAW episode that the final member of his team would be Orton.
After a long wait, Orton finally made his way to the WWE ring, where he got a chance to compete inside the square circle for the first time in a year and a half. Orton did a fantastic job and stepped up to deliver the goods for the babyface team.
Orton’s performance ensured that Team Cody Rhodes defeated The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre in the WarGames match. Speaking after the premium live event, Triple H commented on Randy’s return and said:
“So incredibly proud of him where he is not only as a performer but as a man, as a father, as a human being, just incredibly proud of Randy Orton. When you have the kind of injury that he had where things were touch and go (…) I’ve been there where they tell you you might never do this again.”
Viral video shows Randy Orton telling fans he is here for 10 more years
A fan captured a clip of Orton returning backstage after the match ended, where he could be seen telling the fans that he has 10 more years of wrestling left in him. Randy Orton had all his fingers pointed in the upward direction and a smile on his face as he headed back to the locker room area.
Orton reportedly spent 20 minutes in the AllState Arena after the WarGames show ended and greeted almost every fan possible. It is rare to see him in such a good mood because he was known to be an evil heel during his prime. Here are some of the top fan reactions:

Is it me or did Randy look bigger than he ever has?
He looked as big as priest and drew.
