Orton was seemingly left without an opponent, but now a long-time rival has apparently stepped up to the plate.<\/p>\n<p>Sheamus has been absent for some time now, with the star not really involved in the buildup to WrestleMania 41. He last appeared in the Royal Rumble on WWE TV, and before that, he faced Bron Breakker at Saturday Night&#8217;s Main Event. He has been absent since. This left everyone worried about his health and made them wonder what&#8217;s next. The star then returned to the March 22 and 23 live events during the Europe Tour to face and lose to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/player\/bron-breakker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Bron Breakker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Last week on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/go\/smackdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">SmackDown<\/a>, Kevin Owens announced he had injured his neck and, as a result, he was not going to be able to make it to the planned match at WrestleMania 41, instead leaving Randy Orton without an opponent for the night. Orton, frustrated at this, hit Nick Aldis with a huge RKO, taking him out immediately. Now, Sheamus has suddenly sent a two-word message after there were discussions about who Randy Orton could face at The Show of Shows. <\/p>\n<p>Amidst this discussion, he has put out the message that he&#8217;s available. While he hasn&#8217;t named Orton, with this coming when everyone is wondering who could face The Viper, it seems to hint that he is ready to face the Legend Killer:<\/p>\n<div class=\"bottom-tagline top\" data-tab=\"top\">\n<p>Sting in WWE once again?
