Randy Orton is among the top WWE Superstars, but he has been absent from the Stamford-based promotion for a long time. With that, his fans have often speculated about the return of their favorite superstar. However, now it seems it will happen sooner than later.
On the November 20, 2023, episode of Monday Night RAW, Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, and Jey Uso were present inside the ring. During that, Rhodes announced the return of Randy Orton at Survivor Series 2023. The announcement brought immense joy to the faces of Zayn, Rollins, and Rhodes himself.
However, while Sami, Seth, and Cody were happy about the return of The Viper, it seemed Jey Uso was terrified. The reason Jey’s expression did not match with the rest of the men present inside the ring was that the last time Orton was seen inside the ring, he was brutally beaten up by Mr. Main Event and The Bloodline.

Jey is no longer a part of The Bloodline; however, he previously was a huge part of the faction. With that, earlier on May 20, 2022, The Usos defeated Orton and Matt Riddle to win the RAW Tag Team Championship. However, after the match, The Bloodline decimated the duo. This, in turn, marked Orton’s last appearance inside the WWE ring.
Meanwhile, it’s been a long time since then, and many things have happened. However, it seems Jey remembers what happened between Orton and him earlier. This resulted in his not-so-happy reaction upon hearing the return of The Apex Predator.

The last time we saw Randy was The Bloodline taking him out & sending him home.
Jey remembers.

With that, it remains to be seen what happens when Jey and Orton stand face-to-face inside the ring once again. Fans would be excited to see if The Viper would forgive Mr. Main Event. They would also be interested to see if it would result in a new rivalry between the two.
