RANDY ORTON STILL NOT WILLING TO RETURN

Randy Orton, the 13-time world champion, is still recovering from a back injury and has yet to receive medical clearance to return to the ring. Despite the rumors and anticipation surrounding his appearance at the upcoming SummerSlam, reports confirm that Orton is not yet ready for a comeback.

 Orton has been absent from WWE programs for nearly a year due to a significant back injury. His last appearance was on the May 20 edition of WWE SmackDown, where he and Matt Riddle lost the RAW Tag Team Championship to The Usos. After the match, Orton was attacked by Bloodline, marking his departure from television.

Orton underwent successful fusion surgery on his lower back, which required an extended period of recovery. While there has been speculation about his return, Fightful's Sean Sapp reported that Orton is still recovering and has yet to start training in the ring.

 Despite reports that Orton is in Detroit ahead of SummerSlam, sources close to him have confirmed that he has yet to receive medical clearance to return. The timeline for his return remains uncertain as he continues his recovery process.
