Randy Orton returned to WWE first time in 18 months, helping Cody Rhodes, Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, and Seth Rollins defeat Judgment Day's Finn Balor, Damian Priest, & Dominik Mysterio, and Drew McIntyre inside of WarGames.

Kurt Angle recently commented on his reaction to seeing Randy Orton return to action, saying that it's the best news he's heard of in years.

"Yes, he looks like a Superstar. Randy Orton being back in the WWE, that's the best news I've heard in a couple of years. I mean, Randy is really special. He's an unbelievably talented individual and I think WWE really needed him," Angle said on the latest Kurt Angle Show podcast. "He does look great. I'm just happy he's back because he really struggled with that surgery. Yeah, wasn't getting better he was really frustrated and I'm just glad that he was able to make it back."

Since then, Randy Orton has decided to become a WWE Smackdown Superstar full-time in order to get a match with Roman Reigns.
