Randy Orton is about ready to return to WWE.

Fightful Select recently reported he will be returning as the fifth man to help Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Jey Uso and Sami Zayn against The Judgment Day at Survivor Series: WarGames on November 25.

Fans are so ready to see The Viper return that he got a loud chant from the crowd on Raw after the show went off the air.

Orton was last seen in a WWE ring on May 20, 2022 but has been sidelined with a back issue since then. At the age of 43, one more serious injury could end his career.

The Viper is one of the all-time greats in WWE already, but this return and a potential final run must take advantage of his star power and elevate him one last time.

WarGames is a strong start, but WWE needs his star power beyond that. WrestleMania 40 could be a huge spotlight for one of Orton's last great contests.

Pair him up with Finn Bálor, Damian Priest, Drew McIntyre, Gunther or others to deliver a big match and further establish a top star when he does retire.
