Randy Orton has not appeared on RAW since losing to John Morrison in a Money In The Bank qualifying match on June 21. Orton’s bro, Matt Riddle, recently explained The Viper’s absence by saying he was recharging his battery and waiting to come back.
“There’s been some sightings, he’s been out, he’s been training, he’s been working out,” said Riddle. “I think he just needed to recharge the battery, get the juice back up and right now, the only message I have for Randy is, Bro, I miss you, can’t wait to see you again in person and [I’m] not gonna let you down.
“I think the big thing is, most people give up on relationships pretty early. They don’t stay committed, and with me and Randy, it’s through thick and thin. You know, he’s gonna have a couple bad days, maybe a couple bad weeks. Hey, I might have a couple bad days and be down on my luck. I’m there to pick him up and I know when I’ve needed him, he’s always there to pick me up, bro. So with this relationship, people can say what they want, but they don’t understand it, and that’s their loss.”
