Randy Orton has been out of action since late October 2015 due to a shoulder injury and he has been rehabbing ever since. According to the latest rumors, Orton will be returning to action anytime soon and he could give John Cena some help in his feud with The Club.
The Viper sustained a legitimate shoulder injury before "Hell in a Cell" last year and there were even reports that his neck also needed surgery. The WWE did not confirm the neck issue and based on his the timetable of his return, the shoulder surgery is the only operation he had since neck surgeries take longer to heal.
According to Cageside Seats, Orton is close to returning and he teased a feud with A.J. Styles, the leader of The Club, during an impromptu Q&A in his Twitter account. A fan asked him on what he thinks of Styles and he answered that he cannot wait to give him an RKO out of nowhere.
.@mod3rd I think he's a great addition to the roster. Stand up guy. Def looking forward to snatching him outta mid air.

The 36-year-old is one of the top superstars in the WWE and he might even have a say about what storylines he will be part of. It is interesting to note that Karl Anderson of The Club said in a recent interview with Amarillo Sports that he wants to face Orton on television.
"I think Randy Orton right now would be pretty cool for me. He's somebody I look up to. We're about the same age but he's been on TV for a long time so it'd be pretty cool to get in there with him," Anderson said.
The Machine Gun also mentioned that he wants to face Dolph Ziggler but Orton is his priority. He is also very happy to be inserted in a program with Cena, who recently returned from a shoulder injury.
The 15-time WWE World champion was attacked by Styles, Anderson and Luke Gallows last week on Monday Night Raw. The WWE also announced that Styles vs. Cena will happen for the first time ever at "Money in the Bank" on June 19 in Las Vegas.
Cena is certainly outnumbered by The Club and Orton is the perfect superstar to help him. Even though they are longtime rivals, a team of Cena and Orton have the star-power appeal that can help make Styles, Anderson and Gallows credible in the eyes of many fans.
Check out the video below for The Club's attack on Cena in the last week' episode of Raw in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
