So it's been 2 months since Orton returned... what are your overall thoughts?
The guy was gone for about 18 months and was apparently close to retiring for good... are you guys happy that he's back? Have you enjoyed him so far? Are you excited for what's next? You don't care? You never cared? 50/50?
Honestly, I'd say hes easily one of the GOATs and his return has been positive stuff so far. The night he returned on Survivor Series was HUGE, the pop was crazy!! He's done some great stuff with Reigns/Bloodline so far, some good stuff with AJ/Knight/Nick Aldis etc etc... Rhea/Dom on RAW after Survivor Series.
So far, so good & I hope he sticks around for another 10 years or more tbh.

He’s Orton. I wish he had never gotten away from his Legend Killer, SUPER arrogant gimmick to this day but he’s Orton. He always has a good showing. I liked his Diamond Death Cutter on Saturday to Aj

Looks like he's heading for a showdown with Solo at WM....will he be putting him over like Cena did?

Has been my favorite since my first show I ever watched, Wrestlemania 21
It’s crazy how much he’s matured and how even he knows how awful of a person he was in his 20’s up until his early 30’s. I obviously had no idea he was a complete d*ckhead outside of watching him on TV lol

Randy Orton is a natural heel. He sucks air most the time as a face. He’s fine & functional in matches as a face but it’s a waste not playing to his natural talents. I want to see him viciously trying to tear down LA Knight's newfound star that’s blown up not popping off flowery promos & rko outta nowhere baiting crowds. His return, meh. Bored. Do something, pokes stick at bear.

His return has been a pleasant surprise. He has slotted in perfectly.

It's great having him back, and you can tell he's happy to be back as well. I just hope his back holds up, and that he doesn't get hurt.

Always been a fan and he’s not missed a step in the 18 month absence. But I will say I was worried he injured his shoulder/rotator cuff at the RR Saturday. He had me believing it was really injured.

Desperately need an Orton/Cody program. If it wasn't going to be Cody/Reigns at Mania, I'd want Cody/Orton at Mania. What a story and match that would be! All the way from pre-WM 26, 14-15 years in the making.

Don’t blow it too soon, it should be a long Summer program. With SummerSlam being in big stadiums now, they’ve really been upping their cards so it would be a solid program to put asses in seats

I'm liking it apart from the whole "daddy's back" catchphrase they were trying to push.
