When will Randy Orton return to WWE after Crown Jewel 2026?

There is a possibility that Orton takes a break from WWE after the loss. His match against Rhodes seemingly concludes their longstanding rivalry. He may take a break until there are more creative plans in place for him.

Orton, 46, has been starting to slow down ever since his return from a back injury in November 2023. He doesn’t wrestle as often as he once did—his last televised match before Crown Jewel was on Sep. 18—and has taken on more of a part-time schedule.

His feud with Rhodes has been brewing for years. They were part of the Legacy stable years ago, and they were allies after Rhodes’ WWE return in 2022. Their feud began after Orton won the 2026 Elimination Chamber match, challenging Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship at WrestleMania 42.

He lost that match, but he’d cost Rhodes his match against CM Punk at SummerSlam in August. Orton then won their rematch at Sunday Night’s Main Event on Sep. 6. The rubber match took place at Crown Jewel.
