The now virally famous RKO has long been missing from WWE television with its creator and producer Randy Orton still nursing a shoulder injury.

However, he may be hearing 'those voices' soon as The Viper prepares to return to the squared circle following a seven-month absence.

With the influx of many 'New Era' superstars, the return of a veteran performer such as Randy Orton is sure to spice up the main roster as well as the fans who have been anticipating an 'RKO Outta Nowhere'.

The 36-year-old is being advertised for a WWE Live event in Hidalgo Texas with the tagline "THE RETURN OF THE VIPER RANDY ORTON!!" the clearest giveaway of his impending return.

August 13 is the date the house show is due to take place with the former World Heavyweight Champion expected to make his triumphant return to WWE television within the next month.

Orton was originally rumored to make appearances at house shows in late August but his rehabilitation seems to have gone better than expected.

The father of two was taken off television before he was set to do battle inside a Hell in a Cell alongside Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns to take on the Wyatt Family, but his injury halted the development of that storyline.
