Randy Orton and The Big Show haven't been featured on television as of late, but the two are set to be back in time to hype up the Money in the Bank pay-per-view and WWE Network special next month.
Daniel Bryan Appearing On Monday Night RAW Next Week?
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Orton and The Big Show have been kept off of WWE television because they don't have matches set for Elimination Chamber this Sunday at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, TX, but they are due to have big roles at the next special event.
WWE Money in the Bank takes place live from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on June 14.
Ronda Rousey Teases 'Surprise' Return To WWE
The WWE could bring the stars back as soon as next Monday's edition of RAW as there are only two weeks of buildup between Elimination Chamber and Money in the Bank.
Though it's a little early to speculate what the two will be doing come June 14, there is a possibility they find themselves in the Ladder Match for the Money in the Bank briefcase, which guarantees the winner a WWE World Heavyweight Championship shot within the next year.
Seth Rollins won the briefcase last year shortly after turning on The Shield and he became the first Superstar to ever cash it in on the WWE's grandest stage.
Rollins shocked the world at WrestleMania 31 on March 29 at Levi's Stadium in California, pinning Roman Reigns to win Brock Lesnar's title in one of the most memorable finishes to the "Show of Shows" in history.
Orton was on the losing end of a Fatal 4 Way Match involving "The Architect," Dean Ambrose and Reigns at Payback earlier this month, but hasn't been utilized since absorbing the defeat.
The Big Show fell to Reigns in a Last Man Standing Match at Extreme Rules in April and hasn't been seen since that loss.
The respective hiatuses are set to end once the dust settles on Elimination Chamber and the build toward Money in the Bank commences.
The WWE is running three special events in six weeks as they had Payback on May 17, will broadcast Elimination Chamber this Sunday (May 31) and then they'll have a quick turnaround for Money in the Bank on June 14.
Wrestlingheadlines.com reports that some members of the WWE creative team enjoy having a big event every two weeks because it forces more of a week-to-week focus. Rather than pushing the same matches for a four-week stretch on television, some writers like creating the angles, having a go-home show and then the blow-off to the buildup within a two-week span.
"The Viper" and "The World's Largest Athlete" are set to return for the buildup to Money in the Bank.
