Randy Orton IS In Detroit For WWE SummerSlam, But...

There's a ton of speculation about Randy Orton's return at WWE SummerSlam this weekend, but...just how likely is it really?

Despite all of the chatter claiming Randy will be in Detroit for the pay-per-view, Fightful has cleared up some of the confusion by reporting that Orton is "nowhere near medically cleared to return at this point". Of course, that medical clearance would only be a major factor if he was pencilled in to perform an RKO (or something else physical).

Fightful didn't go into details about that, but it is interesting that their sources tell them Randy isn't cleared by doctors to work even a physical segment on the card. That'll be a bit of a bummer to those hoping they'd see the veteran back in-ring doing what he does best.

An actual match was always far-fetched anyway - WWE would've lined something concrete up long before now had that been the plan. So, as things stand, there's a chance Orton could be in town for the PLE, but pretty much zero chance he'll be doing anything physical at SummerSlam.

Let the rumour mill about his eventual comeback commence.
