Randy Orton Advertised For 12/5 WWE SmackDown

Randy Orton is being advertised for the December 5th episode of WWE SmackDown in Austin, TX.

This does not confirm that Orton will be returning to television on or before this date as WWE advertises appearances far in advance.

Orton has been off television since the October 3rd episode of WWE SmackDown when he took a curb stomp from Seth Rollins and a tsunami from Bronson Reed.

Randy Orton teamed with Cody Rhodes in the main event of the show, losing to Reed & Bron Breakker.

Other talents advertised for the December 5th show include Cody Rhodes, Tiffany Stratton, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, and Charlotte Flair.

Fightful has coverage of SmackDown every Friday beginning at 8 p.m. ET.
