Randy Orton is one of the most successful Superstars in WWE history. The former RAW Tag Team Champion is currently on a hiatus because of an injury. According to rumors, he was scheduled to main event WWE SummerSlam 2022 in a match against the WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns. However, he got injured and has been reportedly ruled out of the show.
WWE has brought Brock Lesnar back to the roster to challenge the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns at the SummerSlam premium live event. Lesnar and Reigns will go one-on-one in a Last Man Standing match.
As far as Randy Orton is concerned, the RAW Superstar was recently spotted hanging out near a swimming pool. He sported a different look as he was clean-shaven. Here’s what a Twitter user wrote while sharing Randy’s photos:
“Pics from yesterday of @RandyOrton at a pool in St. Charles, Missouri with a few lucky fans. He must [must have] shaved the day before because he had a stache & slight beard growth but here he’s basically clean-shaven. lol. Looks in great shape still. Heres [sic] to a fast recovery from surgery bud!”

Will Randy Orton return to WWE in 2022?
Randy Orton’s injury seems serious, and some WWE officials are concerned if he could return to perform by the end of this year. Considering the age factor, WWE may not want to risk Randy by calling him early before his complete recovery.
If Orton returns to WWE in 2023, he could either reform his tag team with Riddle and chase the WWE Unified Tag Team Championships or he could turn on Riddle, blaming him as the reason behind his injury and the reason why he lost some important months of his WWE career. He could be one of the surprise entrants in the Royal Rumble 2023 match as well.
