WWE officially makes major Randy Orton announcement

Randy Orton is set to make a historic appearance at a WWE show. A new announcement was made regarding this appearance.

Randy Orton is widely regarded as one of the greatest WWE Superstars ever. In his legendary career, The Viper has done it all, winning numerous world championships and accolades.

Orton has also competed against some of the best in the business, such as The Undertaker, Triple, and John Cena. He is now set for another historic appearance on NXT.

The brand is set to go on the road on October 1, with the first show in Chicago. The following week, NXT will be held in St. Louis, Missouri, which is Randy Orton's hometown. As a result, The Viper was announced for the show several weeks ago.

Tonight on NXT, General Manager Ava kicked off the show as she was getting ready to host the contract signing between Trick Williams and Ethan Page. During this, she announced that Orton would not only be appearing on the show but also competing. This would be the first time that Orton had competed in NXT since his 2013 match against Damien Sandow.

If ever given a chance to change a storyline, Sunil would have booked Roman Reigns to end The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
