Randy Orton is coming back to the WWE after 18 months and surgery that put his career at risk.

After a long 18 months of uncertainty, WWE legend Randy Orton is finally making his return to the ring. On this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, the former world champion was officially named the fifth and final member of Team Cody for WarGames.

Adam Pearce had given Cody and his teammates Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins and Jey Uso until the end of the night to find a fifth man to take on Judgment Day’s Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Orton had a friend he could call, and later teased the ‘legacy’ he had with the mystery man, before referencing the Apex Predator – one of Orton’s many nicknames – and eventually naming him to a massive reaction.

Orton had been out of action since May 20, 2022, when he and Matt Riddle lost to The Usos in a Raw Tag Team Title bout. He underwent back fusion surgery, and there was plenty of speculation about his future – including whether or not he’d be physically able to get back in the ring.

But now, the Apex Predator is back and ready to take on the ring at Survivor Series: WarGames. This is a breaking news story, so stay tuned for further updates.
