WWE legend, 43, urged by doctors to NEVER return to wrestling despite plotting comeback
WWE legend Randy Orton has been told by doctors to NEVER return to wrestling.
The 43-year-old has been preparing for a comeback, having been out of the ring since May last year.
Orton has been recovering from back surgery that he underwent in November 2022.
His future is now under threat after dad Bob Jnr revealed he has been warned by medics never to feature in the WWE again.
He told Sportskeeda: “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 needs to.
And I think the doctors have told him not to.
“But Randy will do what Randy wants to do.
The Viper has 14 world championships to his name and his career has lasted 20 years.
He is the fourth-most successful wrestler in history, with only rivals John Cena and Ric Flair, having clinched more titles on 16.

Orton also won the Money in the Bank event in 2013 and two Royal Rumbles in 2009 and 2017 to add to his glittering collection.
His signature move the RKO is known worldwide.
WWE chiefs reportedly have no plan to bring Orton back anytime soon and it is unclear on the effect the doctor’s message could have on his contract.
