Randy Orton is back and better than ever! Following successful back surgery, The Viper returned to WWE at Survivor Series 2023 and is now enjoying a career resurgence.
Orton recently formed an unexpected alliance with Kevin Owens to battle The Bloodline. While they fell short against Solo Sikoa and Tama Tonga at Backlash, the duo has gained respect from the WWE Universe.

On WWE’s “The Bump,” Kevin Owens showered Orton with praise. Owens has always admired Orton, both before and after joining WWE. He sees Orton as a model veteran who has matured into a leader respected by the locker room.
Owens was particularly touched by the crowd’s enthusiastic reaction to Orton at Backlash. This outpouring of love and respect highlighted Orton’s two-decade connection with the WWE Universe. Owens witnessed Orton soaking in the cheers, a testament to his enduring legacy.
Now, Orton has set his sights on a new goal: the King of the Ring tournament. He recently defeated AJ Styles in the first round and will face former NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes in the quarterfinals next week.
