The wrestling world has been abuzz with speculation about the potential return of Randy Orton at the WWE SummerSlam event.
However, recent reports suggest that fans might have to wait a bit longer. Despite rumours of Orton being in Detroit, the site of the upcoming SummerSlam event, insiders close to the star have revealed that he is not medically cleared to return at this point.
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.
