Randy Orton may be closing in on a return to WWE TV, and there’s already a date to keep an eye on.
Orton is currently being advertised locally for the December 5 edition of SmackDown in Austin, Texas.
If he does appear, it would mark a little over two months since his last on-screen involvement with the blue brand.
His most recent appearance came on the October 3 episode, where he took a Curb Stomp from Seth Rollins and then ate a Tsunami from Bronson Reed in the main event.
Orton hasn’t been seen on WWE programming since that angle.
WWE is also setting up a busy production schedule as Survivor Series season approaches.
The November 21 SmackDown will be a double-taping, with matches and segments being filmed not only for that week’s episode but also for the November 28 show.
That November 28 broadcast will serve as the official go-home episode for WWE Survivor Series: War Games, which takes place the following day in San Diego.
We’ll keep you posted here at WrestlingHeadlines.com as updates regarding Randy Orton’s WWE return status and anything else planned for the aforementioned double taping as more information becomes available.
