Randy Orton isn’t any longer scheduled to seem at Fanatics Fest in July.
Based on the Fanatics Fest website, the WWE veteran has been moved to the list of talent who “will not be attending Fanatics Fest.” Orton had originally been advertised for the fan convention in Recent York City.
The looks would have marked Orton’s first public event since WrestleMania 42, where he unsuccessfully challenged Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship on Night One. After the match, Orton attacked Rhodes, further escalating their rivalry before stepping away from WWE television.
Back in May, reports surfaced claiming that Orton was sidelined as a result of back issues. Nonetheless, “The Viper” dismissed those rumors with a lighthearted response on social media. He wrote,
“Lmao just milking it guys, leave me alone I’m attempting to enjoy my summer before I come back and take that #15”
At the moment, there is no such thing as a official word on when Orton will make his return to WWE programming or the explanation behind his withdrawal from Fanatics Fest.
