WWE fans are missing Randy Orton, and a newly posted photo has everyone hoping for a return to action.

The former world champion has been out of action for six months with a back injury, which came after he hit some of the best form of his career as part of the RK-Bro team with Matt Riddle.

Now, his wife Kim Orton has marked their seventh wedding anniversary on her public Instagram account by sharing a sweet selfie of them together with Randy in bed in a hospital gown, with half of his face obscured by a mask.

She didn’t reveal when the photo itself was taken, and there’s no reason to assume it was necessarily a recent snap, while she did hint that there was a funny story to be told one day.

In an emotional and romantic post, she wrote: ‘7 wonderful years with the man of my dreams. You’re bat s**t crazy (but so am I) I trust you, and you trust me.

‘We could conquer the f**king world together (if we feel like it) but for now I just want you to be my daddy and me to be your momma and raise our beautiful children together as one big happy family.

‘FAMILY♥️LOVE♥️LOYALTY♥️ we have that tattooed on our bodies because it’s the most important thing to us. ME, YOU, OUR FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS, that’s all that matters.

‘Thank you for loving me the way you do @randyorton Happy Anniversary my love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ btw. If y’all only knew why this pic was taken 😂😎🤷🏻‍♀️😘 #insicknessandinhealth (sic)’

According to previous reports, the Viper had been dealing with his back injury for a while, with the situation getting ‘progressively worse’, and over summer there were concerns he could undergo surgery and miss the remainder of 2022.

Official updates have been few and far between, but Orton is yet to return, having last wrestled in a Tag Team Title Unification Match with Riddle against The Usos, with Jimmy and Jey winning the bout.

A week after the tag match on SmackDown, WWE provided an official update on the future Hall of Famer’s wellbeing.

In a statement on social media, they said: ‘Randy Orton is currently undergoing consultations with neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons to determine the extent of his injury and to recommend course of treatment.’

Earlier this year, the so-called Legend Killer admitted he had started to ‘feel’ the effects of his signature RKO finishing move, which his RK-Bro tag partner Riddle has started to adopt.

‘I kind of wish I could go back in time and create a finishing move that didn’t entail me jumping up as high as I can and landing on my back,’ he told Fox 2 Now in St. Louis back in January.

‘After doing that a couple of thousand times over the last few decades, I’m starting to feel it.’

WWE Raw (Mondays) and SmackDown (Fridays) air weekly at 1am on BT Sport 1.
