The wrestling world has been abuzz with speculation about the potential return of Randy Orton at the WWE SummerSlam event.

Orton has been absent from WWE television since last May, following a defeat alongside Matt Riddle by the Usos in a Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Championship Unification match.

The anticipation of his return has been building, especially with the recent reports of his presence in Detroit. However, these hopes have been dashed with the latest health update.
