April 12, 2016

As noted, Randy Orton was a special guest at the Dubai Comic Con (Middle East Film and Comic Con) last weekend, and PWInsider.com is reporting the following from Orton’s appearance.

Orton did a Q&A with fans during which he said he is still rehabbing his shoulder injury but should be ready to return to the ring soon.

When asked who he most wants to face when he returns, Orton said he’d love to have matches with Finn Balor and Sami Zayn.

Orton was there to plug WWE’s Dune Bash live events taking place in Dubai on April 14th and 15th at the Duty Free Tennis Center, and local commercials for the events were advertising Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens in some sort of Street Fight match, and Kalisto will be defending the U.S. Title against Alberto Del Rio.

Ryback will also be conducting Fitness Experiences before the events.
