Randy Orton has been out of action since last year

It's been more than a year since Orton was last seen in action on WWE TV. He has been out with an injury, and there's still no concrete update on his potential return. Amidst his hiatus, many fans are speculating that the veteran is never going to return to the ring.

In May, Orton's father Bob Orton, provided an update on his possible return while chatting with Bill Apter of Sportskeeda Wrestling:

"He's training, so we'll see what happens; I don't know. If he feels like he's ready to go back, I think he might, but again he's pretty well taken care of. I don't think he need [sic] to. And I think the doctors have told him not to. But Randy will do what Randy wants to do." (2:12 - 2:36)

Orton was recently spotted outside the WWE Performance Center. It could very well be a sign of things to come, and Orton might be close to a WWE return.
