What's Orton Been Doing?
 

Obviously he's going to be a "surprise" Royal Rumble entrant, but was he taken off WWE storylines because he got injured, was filming a movie, was suspended, or just getting random time off?

I never caught a non-kayfabe reason for why he's been off the air. I feel like it'll make sense for him to interfere in the Rollins/Cena/Lesnar match and screw Rollins over. Have Lesnar go over and carry the title into WM and drop it there.

If rumors are totally different, well, I haven't been paying attention.

From what I understand, he asked for time off, then he was brought back at a couple non-televised events then was taken off again to repair a deviated septum

Gotcha. Thanks! I honestly couldn't find anything, other than his getting RKO'd by a little kid.

He's gotta be tired from giving all those RKOs OUTTA NOWHERE to random people lately :shifty:

LOL

Orton will return and win the rumble and headline wrestlemania! It would make my year!

Had no idea where he'd been, but I certainly haven't been missing him whining.

I think it's likely we'll see him return at the Royal Rumble, and ruin an attempt at a post-defeat cash-in by Seth Rollins.

I don't really want to see Orton vs. Rollins at WrestleMania, but I think they do need a blow-off, so I would just have that take place at Fast Lane. Would feel like a pretty hot match for that show.
