Randy Orton Pulled From All WWE TV, When Will He Return?

After the release of the shirt below and Randy Orton’s appearances at several WWE house shows, it appeared that “The Viper” was medically cleared for an imminent. As we’ve reported, the plan was originally for Orton to face Rollins at WrestleMania 31, so it is expected he will feud with the former Shield member and The Authority when he does return.

Now in terms of his return, many expect it to happen at WWE Fast Lane this coming Sunday, however Dave Meltzer has seemingly poured water on those rumors and cast some doubt on when in fact the former WWE World Champion return…

They’ve pulled [Randy Orton] from all TV’s. So, I don’t know what the story is. He was supposed to start at TV a couple of weeks ago – he’s ready, he’s worked all of the house shows. But for whatever reason, they’ve decided to hold off his return, and I’m thinking that since he’s not going to work [at Fast Lane] they figure there’s no point in bringing him back now, and maybe they’re going to bring him back after WrestleMania, or they’ll have him do a run-in at WrestleMania.

The original plan was for Orton to be on TV weeks ago, and then he was pulled and he’s not advertised on any TV’s at all up through WrestleMania.
