It looks like there is some good news about a former WWE Champion.

Randy Orton has been dealing with back issues for years and the pain has gotten progressively worse. It's been so bad that he hasn't appeared on WWE programming in well over a year. In fact, the last time he wrestled a match was on SmackDown when he and Matt Riddle dropped the Tag Team Titles to The Usos.

Riddle noted in an interview that Orton was in so much pain that he collapsed backstage after the match. Orton's status has been in question and there's been talk that he may never return to the ring again.

Bob Orton said earlier this year that doctors have advised his son against wrestling again but Randy is going to do what he wants and he believed that he would attempt to make a comeback. In recent months, we haven't heard much from Randy aside from a few photos that have leaked that show that he is in great shape.

The WrestleOps on X/Twitter posted a video that was sent to them by a fan and it shows Orton walking into the Performance Center in Orlando. It's not clear where things stand but typically, wrestlers go to the PC to workout and see where they are at before getting cleared to return.

Again, we don't know what his status is but the fact that he flew to Orlando will give fans some hope that he will be back in the ring at some point.
