WrestleMania 41 is less than two months away, and WWE still has time to finalize the match card. However, several stars are still absent, leaving fans wondering about their status, including Randy Orton. In fact, Ortons current status for WrestleMania 41 has now been revealed.
While speaking on Fightfuls post-RAW show, Sean Ross Sapp was asked about Randy Ortons status for WrestleMania 41. Sapp noted that Orton has been the odd man out during his absence from television when it comes to his involvement with Kevin Owens and Sami Zayns storyline.
Sapp then mentioned that WWE had wanted Orton involved in WrestleMania 41 but had not heard anything specific about his plans. However, he remained hopeful that Orton would return soon.
Randy Ortons last match was on October 25 during SmackDown, where he teamed up with Cody Rhodes to take on Imperiums GUNTHER and Ludwig Kaiser. On November 8, Kevin Owens attacked Orton with a piledriver, leading doctors to diagnose him with cervical cord neuropraxia. There was no clear timeline for his return, as he was written off WWE television, leaving fans waiting for updates on his comeback.
At the moment, Ortons path to WrestleMania 41 is unclear. WWE is still finalizing its plans, so theres always a chance he could make a surprise return. However, without any official confirmation, fans will have to wait and see if Orton will be part of WrestleMania 41 or if his return will be pushed to a later date.
What do you think WWE should do with Randy Orton if he returns before WrestleMania? Should he be inserted into a major storyline or saved for a bigger comeback? Let us know your thoughts in the comments!
