RANDY ORTON made a shock return to WWE after four months away from the company.
The Apex Predator hadn’t been seen since he lost to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 42 in April.
However, the 14-time world champion appeared at the end of the Cody Rhodes and CM Punk WWE World Heavyweight title match to RKO the former and hand victory to the latter.
The Viper, 46, turned heel to face Rhodes at WrestleMania and ended up losing the match, but punted Rhodes in the head before he left.

Thank you!
There as been much many reports and speculation that a flare up of his career-threatening injury had meant Orton needed more time away.
Orton would then tweet denying the reports, insisting he was simply milking his on-screen loss/injuries and wanted to enjoy his summer.
