The Latest on Randy Orton’s WWE Status
Randy Orton’s WWE TV status has been up in the air since November, as he has been advertised for TV events throughout that time but has yet to return to TV.
Interestingly, Orton has been pulled from all TV advertisements on WWE.com through WrestleMania. Orton is being advertised for live events on the road to WrestleMania, but he has been pulled from advertisements for the WWE overseas tour taking place right after ‘Mania.
Orton has not been on TV since November, as he was written out of story lines so he could film “The Condemned 2.” Orton has made sporadic live event appearances since then.
