A new report offers up a major update on when WWE fans can expect to see the returns of company legends Brock Lesnar and Randy Orton.
Lesnar and Orton came from the same Ohio Valley Wrestling prospect class and ended up living up to all of their potential and then some. The pair of future Hall of Famers are two of the top stars of their generation and will go down among the greatest wrestlers in WWE history.
What makes them so amazing is that they are still active in 2026, albeit on part-time schedules. WWE fans last saw “The Beast” at this year’s edition of Survivor Series War Games in November, where his team was victorious. However, it has been a bit longer since fans have seen “The Viper.”
Orton has been away from WWE TV since losing a tag team match with Cody Rhodes on an October episode of SmackDown.
Well, the hiatus for the pair of WWE legends could end very soon. According to a new report from Fightful insider Wrestle Votes, both Lesnar and Orton are scheduled to be in Saudi Arabia for this month’s edition of the Royal Rumble. The 2026 edition of the January classic goes down on the 31st.
Now, the pair being in attendance does not guarantee they will be on the card. But it seems like a fairly strong lock that they will appear on TV to set up major matchups for each at WrestleMania 42.
