Randy Orton is making the most of the holiday season — with his return to WWE on the horizon, The Viper is also embracing his softer side at home.

In a festive update, Orton’s wife Kim Orton took to Instagram to share heartwarming photos of their family celebrating Christmas together. The series included snaps of the entire Orton clan — kids and all — beaming with holiday joy. One especially sweet photo captured Randy and Kim gazing lovingly at each other with Santa Claus smiling in the background.

The photos gave fans a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into Orton’s personal life just as he gears up for a massive return to WWE television. And make no mistake — the comeback is very real.

Speaking in a promotional clip from Saudi Arabia, Orton confirmed what fans had been speculating since his sudden disappearance from TV in October.

“This is Randy Orton with WWE, and I’m at The Grove. I want to remind everybody that tickets are still on sale for the Royal Rumble coming to Riyadh in January, and tickets are also still on sale for SmackDown.”

Then he drove the point home, making it clear he’ll be back next month in time for the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event.

“I’ll see you at the Royal Rumble, or I’ll see you at SmackDown.”

Orton is officially set to appear on the January 30th edition of SmackDown, followed by the Royal Rumble event on January 31 — both taking place in Riyadh. For now, though, it’s clear the Apex Predator is cherishing his time at home before diving back into the chaos of the squared circle.
