WWE Nixed Huge Creative Plans For Randy Orton Due To His Injury

Randy Orton has accomplished a lot of things during his two-decade run with the WWE. The Viper has done pretty much everything one would want to do in WWE, and fans truly respect him for it. Orton is out of action, and it seems WWE had some huge plans for him after his return.

Randy Orton has been out of action for a long time due to his back injury. He was written off WWE television after being attacked by The Usos. Since then, fans have wondered when he will return to WWE television.

During a GiveMeSport interview with WrestleVotes, it was reported that WWE’s original plans for The Viper’s return would have seen him immediately turn on Matt Riddle and begin a feud between the two.

When Randy Orton went down, the plan was for him to come back and immediately turn on Matt Riddle.

Randy Orton could also miss out on the remainder of this year due to his injury. Perhaps Triple H might still go with this plan if he wants to. We’ll have to see what will become of Orton in the end.
