WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle has provided an update regarding Randy Orton, who has been sidelined with an injury.

Orton has been on the shelf with a back injury. He has not been featured in WWE programming in almost a year. Fans have been speculating his return ever since.

'The Viper' has been away dealing with the injury since May last year. Orton was last involved on May 20 edition of WWE SmackDown when he and Matt Riddle dropped the RAW Tag Team Championships to The Usos. Orton was attacked by The Bloodline to be written off television following the match. The injury caused him to miss the rest of the year.

Orton required a fusion in his lower back that would keep him out of action for an extended period of time. The surgery took place successfully and ever since he has been nursing the injury. There is speculation that he might return soon after rumors started floating regarding his return. Now, Kurt Angle has shared an update on Orton's recovery.
