Orton, who will team up with Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Seth Rollins, and Jey Uso, will face The Judgment Day and Drew McIntyre in the Men's WarGames match.
Midway through the tag team championship match, Priest struck Orton's iconic pose, mocking him in the process.
Orton was forced out of action after he and Matt Riddle lost the RAW Tag Team Championship to The Usos on SmackDown. He has been sidelined since mid-2022.
However, on the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, Cody announced The Apex Predator's return, confirming his entry into this year's Men's WarGames Match as the fifth member of Rhodes' team.
Meanwhile, Judgment Day's issues with Rhodes, Zayn, Jey, and Rollins have been going on for months. The feud between the babyfaces and the heels is expected to culminate at Survivor Series.
