There was just another potential big sign to Randy Orton’s return, so we’ll see
what’s new there.
We’ll also check out what’s being said about a retirement match for Brock Lesnar,
Nia Jax’s WWE status, and much more
Let’s start things off with Randy Orton
So in just a couple of months, we’ll quickly be approaching the one year anniversary of
Randy Orton’s last match
Orton last competed back in may 2022 and these last few months have been a big blur regarding
the in-ring future of Randy Orton
Now immediately after Randy had left, the initial belief was that it was most likely
just a few months and how he’ll be back in time to face Roman Reigns at Summerslam
But as everyone knows, that wasn’t the case and that matchup never happened
The injury was much more serious than everyone thought and was extremely more long term
Then from there on, the big rumor was that Randy Orton was going back and forth with
his doctors regarding a decision for back surgery
He ended up getting that procedure done and is now deep into the recovery
The positive news that came out of this situation was that Randy Orton allegedly took his time
off at the perfect time because if he would’ve continued to keep working through the injury,
that probably could’ve ended his career right then and there
So the timing was perfect and obviously leaves the door open for a return down the line
So what are about the return time frame itself, any new updates on that?
Well there’s been no solid news or even rumors regarding Randy Orton’s potential
return date
Only thing that fans have discovered is that Orton’s injury appears to be a bit similar
to a back injury that Shawn Michaels suffered in the early 2000s that took him a few years
to recover from
So everyone’s best guess is that it’ll probably be a few years before Randy Orton
can get cleared to compete
However, there was a new piece of intel that instantly caught everyone’s attention regarding
Randy Orton
A popular wrestling boot maker, who has created several wrestling boots for pro wrestlers
across multiple promotions and is even working on Cody Rhodes’ Wrestlemania boots, took
to his official Instagram to answer some questions about the coolest WWE superstars they have
worked with
They listed Drew McIntyre and Bray Wyatt as some of the coolest superstars they worked
with and he also dropped the big news that Randy Orton has recently got in contact with
him regarding a new order for wrestling boots
So it’s not the most reliable source in the world, but considering how much work he’s
done in the past for WWE superstars and how much work he’s still currently doing for
them, fans are definitely paying mind to what he said about Randy Orton’s new order for
boots
The new order of boots may not be a direct sign of an imminent return for Randy Orton,
but either way, it has fans feeling very optimistic
Even if he’s getting the boots just to try on or do some very light training, at least
it’s a big sign that returning to the ring is still on his mind and still seems like
a realistic possibility
So still not much is known about Randy Orton’s status and his recovery from such a major
injury, but this alleged boot order has been the biggest positive story for Randy Orton
in a long time
So hopefully that return from Randy Orton will take place somewhere down the line
—————————————
When it comes to Brock Lesnar, he’s no doubt one of the biggest globally known superstars
to ever step in the ring
Brock has been back with WWE on his second run for well over 10 years now and it’s
been full of great legendary moments for him
He spent those few years during the mid 2010s as truly one of the most scariest and unbeatable
forces that the WWE has ever seen
But now as Brock Lesnar approaches his late 40s, a big constant reoccurring topic has
been Brock’s retirement match, who will be the one that puts Brock Lesnar finally
to rest?
A lot of fans thought that Brock Lesnar would be done with WWE following Wrestlemania 38
or even Summerslam 2022, which also looked like a farewell match
But Brock Lesnar is still active and still going
So assuming Brock Lesnar has a few more big matches left in him, who should be that finale
opponent that gets the honor and privilege to retire him and take that momentum with
him for the rest of their careers
It’s sort of like when Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, ending his
undefeated streak
It was a big ‘passing of the torch’ moment there between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker
Undertaker was slowly on his way out and that win gave Brock Lesnar even more rocket fuel
to just go straight up in WWE
So very similar idea here, whoever pins Brock Lesnar in his very last match is going to
get that same big momentum
And usually in a ‘passing of the torch’ sort of moment, it’s always with a much
younger superstar
So who’s on the list of possibilities?
Well Teddy Long made some headlines recently when he named Bron Breakker to be the one
who retires Brock Lesnar
And Teddy’s pick is a perfect selection
Bron Breakker is only in his mid 20s, he appears to have WWE’s full support, and he appears
to be WWE’s next big future power house
He fits that same sort of Brock Lesnar mold, so if Bron picks up that retirement win over
Brock, it would be an instant career takeoff moment for him
Some people are also listing Gunther as that potential retirement opponent for Brock Lesnar
Gunther is becoming a massive star right before our eyes.
He’s the longest reigning intercontinental champion in a handful of years, he made that
title feel important again, and continues to have such a big impact in WWE
Gunther is most definitely another worthy contender for Brock Lesnar’s last match
So it’s a very interesting topic of discussion.
Those appear to be the two biggest names for the job right now, but maybe even more superstars
will emerge for the role in the near future
———————————
There’s been a lot of conversation going on regarding Nia Jax
After being shockingly released from WWE several years ago, Nia Jax was being heavily rumored
for the 2023 women’s Royal Rumble match
Those rumors turned out to be true as Nia Jax entered the match at the number 30 spot
It was a big return, obviously Nia Jax is a well known superstar that had been gone
for a while, so it made sense for her to have an epic number 30 return
But the only problem and confusion is that it might’ve been a one night special appearance
after all
When Nia Jax was making her way to the ring and yelling about how she was back and then
WWE was even releasing new merchandise for Nia Jax… everyone obviously thought that
Nia’s return was a full time return to the WWE and not just a special Royal Rumble appearance
She was backstage posing with her Bloodline family members, everyone was gearing up those
‘Nia Jax to the bloodline’ rumors and theories again, but then Nia Jax vanished
again
So it does look like there was some confusion there with Nia Jax’s return, everyone thought
she was the big star in the women’s Royal Rumble that would be sticking around and maybe
even playing a big role at Wrestlemania
But it looks like Nia Jax really was just a one night special appearance for the Royal
Rumble
But at least any previous issues that were there were all squashed and maybe Nia Jax
will be open to another WWE return down the line
